These bright green, yellow and red colors usually bloom from around mid to late November onwards

For anyone who admires Japan's colorful autumn season it's very easy to forget that sometimes the best things can be found right in front of you! This is certainly true when it comes to Yokohama's popular Minato Mirai area where you can enjoy the best of Mother Nature within a modern metropolis.

Although blooming later than many other northern parts of the country, Yokohama's autumn colors can usually be seen from around the middle of November, providing a refreshing and more tranquil element to this bustling and ever changing landscape.
