Akiu (AKIU) Otaki

Solemn Otaki wrapped in multicolored colored leaves

"Akiu Otaki" all one of Japan Miou meibaku is called as well as Kegon Fall (Tochigi) and Nachi Falls (Wakayama). Tuff is broken, and it's dazzled by the landscape of the force perfection which drops boldly from the height of the 55m. When a tree of a maple, a Japanese oak and a mountain cherry is wanton in the neighborhood, and I pass the middle of ordinary year October, colorful colored leaves spread like a panorama.
It's to the fall bookstand which is ahead of "Akiu Odaru Acala (Mt. Takimoto, Saiko-ji Temple)" to wish for the whole picture of fall. That it's overwhelmed by the roar and the water spray which also pretend to seem to be thunder unconsciously when coming down to the basin of a waterfall from an esplanade in a riverside. Though I feel cool mist, it's also recommended to red and yellow to look up at edged fall.
It's also a tree of a big gingko of an age of the tree for about 350 years in Akiu Otaki Acala. Taste in the precinct buried by a carpet of a fallen leaf as well as glaring of the height of colored leaves are also special.

The "Okura dam" in the way to "definition tathagata Saihoji (quire GI NYORAI Saiho-ji)" is also the spot of colored leaves at which I'd like to drop in all together from Sendai city and Akiu (AKIU) hot spring. A yellow gradation of the maple and the azalea which color a cliff of a double arch principle concrete dam and a stretch, indeed, superb view. It also seems that a heart is investigated by the view by which colored leaves suit a reflection in the water in a dam lake.
It's two parks in the neighborhood. Though it's compact, "park under Okura dam" is charmed by the landscape of the flamboyant autumn when the trees are brilliant in amber color. There is a roller slide for which a slightly elevated hill was used in "Okura dam lakeside park", and it fits to visit by a parent and child.

Matsushima

I get a bird's-eye view of colored leaves and Matsushima-wan from a hill. In the evening, a mysterious garden light up.

Matsushima where scenic trio of Japan are one is also learned about as a place famous for beautiful colored autumnal leaves. The "Ogitani" to which the name stuck because an inlet of Matsushima-wan was seen as the shape of the fan, (in GI DA which runs), then the trees of a maple are dyed simultaneous in deep red. The view spot which can get a bird's-eye view of Matsushima-wan "pine park of westing return" can't also be overlooked. A view of the islands which float on fascinating colored leaves and Matsushima-wan seems to be a spread of picture.
It's lit up by the "Miyagi prefecture Matsushima detached palace" etc. a garden puts in with "Zuigan-ji (ZUIGANJI)" and a pet on the Date Masamune relation including excellent "circular going to hospital". An interesting place such as the karesansui garden where a maple is also surfaced in the silent darkness for a light up of circular going to hospital at the inside and a pond of the heart letter in which reverse colored leaves are reflected like Kagami is also much. It's played by various artists every day, and it can be flooded with the pleasant sound and the mysterious color to the hilt during a period.

Akiu (AKIU) winery

I look at a vineyard of autumn scenery, and, winery picnic

The winery established in the Miyagi for the first time after an earthquake disaster in 2015. I'm aiming at an area way by wine on the concept of "TEROWAJU" which multiplied "Mariage" which means a pairing and marriage of "terrorism whirl", the food and the liquor which show person's work by the climate climate.
A grape of Merlot Reserve, Pinot Gris and GEVERUTSUTORAMINERU will color easy in November, and a vineyard is dyed in gentle autumn scenery.
Then Restaurant opened in August, 2024 "TEROWAJU Akiu" looks at a vineyard of colored leaves from a big window, and you can spend some luxurious time when the Italian who used the local ingredients and wine are tasted. Outdoor seat where more than 70 is here on a day of clear weather of autumn is a special seat. Takeout does a lunch box, and a refreshing winery picnic can be enjoyed fully at the table in a field.
