2025 Ultimate Guide to Autumn Foliage in Fukuoka

In Fukuoka, nature and the city coexist in close harmony. As the autumn foliage peaks in the surrounding mountains, the trees lining city streets and parks begin to show their colors as well.

This year, with generally mild temperatures but cooler mornings and evenings from radiative cooling, most foliage spots are expected to reach their best viewing period around mid-November—either around the usual time or slightly later.

From the deep reds of maple leaves to the golden hues of ginkgo trees, each location offers a unique way to enjoy the season. Explore Fukuoka Now’s Autumn Foliage Guide to discover your ideal viewing spot.

Located on the eastern slope of Mount Aburayama, “Mo Mo Land Aburayama Farm” and the 2023-revamped “ABURAYAMA Fukuoka,” integrated with Aburayama Shimin no Mori, serve as convenient outdoor spots for Fukuoka citizens, popular among families. In autumn, the mountain is adorned with trees colored in reds and yellows. The 3.4 km walking trail is lined with vibrant autumn leaves, and the “Momiji Valley,” where 1,000 Japanese maple trees change colors, alongside the Children’s Plaza where large metasequoia trees, ranging from 10 to 20 meters tall, turn a golden hue in early Dec. The Nature Observation Center also offers free maps of the approximately 3.4 km autumn foliage walking course.

Kiyomizu Temple (Honbo Teien)

The serene Japanese garden of Kiyomizu Temple, reputed for its picturesque beauty, is believed to have been crafted during the Muromachi period by the renowned artist-monk Sesshu.

The garden offers a year-round visual retreat, with its springs softly cascading over rocks, yet it’s during autumn that its splendor is heightened. A majestic ginkgo tree stands within, showering the earth with a vibrant yellow blanket of leaves.
