【English Translation】

It’s about the time when the autumn leaves start to change!
“Kooyoo” means when the color of the leaves turns red and yellow. I can’t see them around my house yet, but I wonder when they’ll start in 2025.

Recently, I’ve been feeling a bit cold, but according to the news, this year will be a warm autumn! (Really!? )
So, the autumn leaves might start a little later this year!

Let’s take a look at each region!
In Hokkaido, it begins around late September.
In Tohoku, around October.
In the Kanto and Kansai areas, around November.
And in Kyushu and regions further south, you can still see the leaves in late November or even December!

Since the timing of the cold weather is different in each area, you can enjoy the autumn leaves in many places across Japan!
Which area would you like to see the autumn leaves in?
