Autumnal tints of leaves in Japan starts from Daisetsu Mountains in Hokkaido from September, and starts moving down south along the Japanese archipelago. We call this "Momiji (autumn foliage) Front," looking forward for its arrival. Momiji front reaches Kyoto in the end of October, and starts to color the leaves red and yellow from the suburbs, Ohara, Takeo, and Hiei-zan Mountain.
