[2025 year edition] 6 elections of recommendation spot of colored leaves in Kaga and Komatsu area

Kaga and Komatsu area located in the south in Ishikawa Prefecture . It's also this area that "Nata-dera" popular with "Senkei Tsuru" who takes pride in his best canyon's beauty and a visit to Japan foreigner, too has Hokuriku area. It's the area which flooded charm through one year, but it's possible to pray the superb view which is to the extent itself is difficult to devote to an explanation time of the colored leaves, in particular at each place. I'll introduce 6 spots I'd like to visit in colored leaves season at Kaga and Komatsu area by this article.

Kaga (hot spring in the mountains and Daisho-ji) area

Komatsu area

It's a riverbed after walk of colored leaves, sweets.

Hot spring in the mountains which also loved Matsuo Basho. When a ravine on the Daisho-ji (Daisho-ji) river which flows along hot spring district "Senkei Tsuru" will be around the middle of November, a Japanese Maple is blooming. A deciduous tree of a maple maple gingko dyes a ravine in red and yellow. About 1300 m of esplanade is even provided Kurotani Hashi with from an upstream cricket bridge, and above all, a maple is outstanding in many impressions around the cricket bridge. It spans in October, 2019 and the beautiful scenery a new bridge built with changed general hinoki and colored leaves interweave can be enjoyed.
An old artwork is appreciated at "infinite hermitage" of a samurai family Shoin style of the Kaga feudal clan near the bridge, loving colored leaves and it can be satisfied with an autumn scene and sweets at a riverbed near the cat's cradle chopsticks in the walk way. There is a "Japanese banana plant hall" where Kuroya Hashi deified Matsuo Basho in the side, so how about driving expectation in the Japanese banana plant which traveled this place?

The excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves which starts from a photogenic suspension bridge

The pile of the altitude 942m located in the inside in hot spring in the mountains where a Kagahot spring village is one. Because it's similar to Mt. Fuji when it's seen from hot spring district, it's said that this name stuck. The author of "Japan one hundred famous mountain" from whom everyone learns about the person who climbs and Kyuuya-Fukada (1903-1971) are also famous as the mountain climbed for the first time in a life. There are a lot of people who climb rhododendron of dark pink pleasantly in spring, and the mountaineering visitor who visits in an excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves doesn't cease in autumn.
There is 4 of mountain trail in a Fuji sha KE mountain mainly, that it's very popular, "Waretani course". You can reach the top in about 2 hours. Waretani course crosses Waretani dam lake by a red suspension bridge, and starts, but when it itself is photogenic, a view from a suspension bridge and a suspension bridge are also a secret popular spot besides the mountaineering visitor. You can have a good sweat for one-day visit hot water from hot spring in the mountains after an excursion for viewing scarlet maple leaves, and it's kill two birds with one stone.

A sacred place of a mountain fancier is dyed in turning of a gingko.

Museum of a man of letters and Kyuuya-Fukada in the mountain where the one in the distance between about 10 minutes is an author of mountaineer's Bible-like existence "Japan one hundred famous mountain" by car from Kagahot spring station. I possess more than 500 points of material focusing on his work and posthumous writings in the inside of the building where a built factory of silk fabrics was repaired in 1910 (1910). Even temporary exhibition in addition to a permanent exhibition is the spot which can touch history in a mountain and culture. After satisfying intellectual curiosity concerning inside of the building, it's to a garden. When a maple also becomes 3 gingkoes including an old tree of an estimated age of the tree for more than 650 years at the middle of October, I begin to color a little, and you tell me of a visit in autumn. A fallen leaves of a gingko is spread and is in the landscape which seems to be autumn in gold Isshiki from the middle November when colored leaves will be a peak to a little past the 20th. If it's visited in Kaga in autumn, it's 1 of the spots full of aim at which I'd like to drop in by all means.

Colored leaves which suit the surface of a river, taste, much. The canyon's beauty by which a color print is just like

Midstream in Osugi mountain stream which flows through a mountainous region in Komatsu-shi and scenic area located at narrow TTA in a valley most. Though it's usually a quiet ravine, I bustle with many tourists in colored leaves season. A maple and zelkova serrata will change to yellow and orange from the surface of a river to the peak at time at the middle of ordinary year November, and the excellent cityscape which makes them think of a color print at all spreads. About 400 m of esplanade is maintained along a ravine, and it's also a wonderful point that colored leaves can be enjoyed while taking a walk slowly. The ideal scenic area where "Yasuna Hashi" who spans (YASUNA, when, with the selling point of) can wish for colored leaves and a ravine together near the starting point on the esplanade. It can be satisfied with the trees which project in a river, the flow by which a surface of a mountain in a riverside colored and meandered and the canyon's beauty a strangely shaped rock produces to its heart's content.

A building of national important cultural property designation is here and there in the scenic beauty using the rocky mountain, and 1 is spangled with "Michelin green guide snake pong" in a star from full of the highlight. 15 kinds, 1000 are planted in a mountain maple and Japanese enkianthus centering on "strangely shaped rock yuu cloudland" a rock with a strange shape equals in the wide precinct where it's here about 23 ha, and when it's met around the middle of November, it's dyed in red and yellow.
