A renowned autumn foliage spot on the World Heritage site, Miyajima.
This park is Miyajima's flagship spot for autumn foliage. Every year, around mid to late November, approximately 700 maple trees in the park gloriously change their colors. Of the tree varieties, the Iroha Maple, which turns a brilliant red, is the most predominant with about 560 trees. This is followed by the OoMomiji (Big Maple) with its large leaves, numbering around 100 trees, and then the Urihadakaede and YamaMomiji with about 40 trees combined.
The famous Hiroshima sweet "Momiji Manju" (maple-leaf shaped bun) is said to have been inspired by this park during the Meiji era. One of the park's main attractions is the "Momiji Bridge" at the entrance. This beautiful vermilion-colored bridge becomes even more picturesque during the autumn season when surrounded by the radiant fall colors. The view of the crystal-clear Momijidani River from the bridge is also a classic sight. Every year, during the peak autumn foliage, there are light-up events after sunset. The illuminated leaves offer a fantastical ambiance different from daytime.
The park is also known as a spot for green maples (AoMomiji), and from spring to summer, the fresh green leaves beautifully adorn the park. The contrast between the vermilion "Momiji Bridge" and the lush greenery is indeed splendid.

Follow the path behind Itsukushima Shrine toward the mountain and step into Momijidani Park, and it instantly feels like you’ve plunged into a secluded paradise surrounded by lush greenery and red maple leaves! The park sits at the foot of the primeval forest on Mount Misen, Miyajima’s highest peak, with nearly 700 maple trees of all kinds planted along both sides of the Momijidani River. In summer, the mountains are covered in bright, fresh greenery, while the air is filled with the refreshing scent of the forest and the cool mist from the murmuring stream. In fall, it becomes truly spectacular, with the entire valley layered in shades of yellow, orange, and deep red, as breathtakingly beautiful as if nature had spilled its palette! As you walk along the stone path covered in fallen leaves, you may also spot wild deer gracefully strolling and foraging beneath the trees. The scene is so soothing that you won’t want to blink.
You can enjoy cherry blossoms here in spring, fresh greenery in summer, and stunning autumn leaves in the fall. The autumn foliage is definitely the highlight. I hope to come back and see it in the fall next time!
The mountains are covered in maple leaves—absolutely breathtaking!
Walking on a carpet of fallen leaves, listening to the gentle stream and the chirping of birds—it's really beautiful.
