Kyoto in Autumn

A photographic journey around Kyoto in autumn...

Autumn is the season when nature offers us an exceptional palette of colors, as the leaves of the "Momiji," the Japanese maple trees, turn from green to brown, passing through yellow, orange, and, above all, a powerful, intense red. Capturing the essence of some of Kyoto's most beautiful spots and events, this book offers you a visual tour of Japan's old capital during this season.

Kyoto in autumn is a true sensory experience that will delight you with the visual beauty of the season. The city's cobbled streets and historic districts, all the city’s temples and gardens, become picturesque backdrops where the contrast between historic wooden structures and autumn leaves creates superb tableaux.

Discover the iconic spots and temples, many historic festivals held in autumn, seasonal dishes, and the secret, traditional world of the "Hanamachi," the geisha districts quite active during this season.

With some 250 color photographs, this book is a tribute to the extraordinary beauty of Kyoto in autumn, presenting a perfect fusion of the city's rich history and tradition, and the ephemeral magic of nature.
