Description
Momiji (紅葉 or もみじ) most commonly refers to the vibrant red and orange autumn leaves of the Japanese maple tree, as well as the seasonal tradition of appreciating fall foliage (Momijigari).
The Fuji Kawaguchiko Autumn Leaves Festival 2026 runs from November 7 to November 29, 2026, around the northeastern shore of Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture.
Key Information

- Main Location: The Lake Kawaguchi Maple Corridor (Momiji Kairou), featuring hundreds of vibrant red maple trees along the Nashigawa River.

- Scenic Views: Visitors can catch views of Mount Fuji framed by fiery red leaves at the corridor and nearby spots like the Maple Tunnel and Kawaguchiko Ohashi Bridge.
- Japanese Maple Leaves: While kōyō (紅葉) is the general term for all leaves changing color in autumn, momiji specifically highlights the iconic, star-shaped red maple.
- Momijigari (Leaf-Peeping): An aristocratic tradition dating back to the Heian period (794–1185) where people visit temples, gardens, and mountains to view autumn colors, much like cherry blossom viewing (hanami) in spring.
