Best places to visit in November | Autumn trip to Nara's Kasuga no Yokocho: Encountering nature and ancient charm

#November Destinations 2025 In autumn, Kasugano Garden in Nara is like a vibrant, colorful painting. Adjacent to Kasuga Taisha Shrine, it perfectly blends natural and cultural landscapes. The garden is lush with trees; in late autumn, the maple leaves blaze like fire, the ginkgo leaves turn golden, intertwining with the verdant pines and cypresses—a breathtaking sight. Strolling through the garden, you'll find soft fallen leaves underfoot and the rustling of leaves in the autumn breeze—a truly delightful experience. You might even encounter leisurely deer, their graceful figures adding a touch of life to the autumn scenery. There are many unique shops around the garden where you can sample Nara's specialties such as persimmon leaf sushi and deer crackers. When you're tired from exploring, take a break in the garden's rest area, admire the enchanting autumn scenery, and experience the unique tranquility and beauty of Nara.
