Hi. I would love advice on best time to start my trip in November. I have a choice of start dates (order of destinations is set as I'll be with a group). I know peak can vary year to year depending on weather. I've been reviewing 2025 foliage maps and also posts from Nov 2025 visitors. Some posts seem to differ a bit from the maps so I'd love your input.
Either:
NOV 17/18-23 TOKYO
NOV 24-25 HAKONE
NOV 26-28 HANAKAWA
NOV 29 – DEC 3 KYOTO
DEC 4-7 HIROSHIMA
OR
NOV 20-26 TOKYO
NOV 27-28 HAKONE
NOV 29 -DEC 1 HANAKAWA
DEC 2- 6 KYOTO
DEC 7-10 HIROSHIMA
Arigato.
