Finally checked in at the long-awaited sacred spot for crimson maple leaves!!!
Huge thanks to my good friend Miu-chan for bringing me to this hidden gem😭✨
Nagano is truly... absolutely amazing!!! 👏✨

When we arrived, it was already evening
The sunset glow dyed the Sando path a brilliant crimson
Although it got dark quickly
That fleeting beauty is truly unforgettable for a lifetime☺️🌇🍂

I heard that just a few days after we left
The maple leaves here turned fully scarlet!
Since it wasn’t peak season when we came
There were very few people, making it super easy to take great photos
Families with kids are sincerely advised to come early🤔

📌 Tips:
1. The Chōenji maple leaf Sando path has uphill and downhill sections, so comfortable shoes are recommended
2. It’s best to come around 3-4 PM to capture the perfect combination of sunset and autumn leaves
3. Nearby, you can also visit Zenkoji Temple and Matsumoto Castle for more fun
