    After meeting your tour conductor at Nagoya Station, you’ll board a comfortable bus and head toward the first destination, Korankei, widely regarded as the top autumn foliage spot in the Tokai region. As we approach the gorge, you'll be welcomed by a vibrant canopy of maple trees, their leaves turning brilliant shades of red, orange, and gold. The path along the Tomoe River is especially scenic, offering mesmerizing reflections of the foliage on the water’s surface. This area is home to over 4,000 maple trees, and in the peak season—from early November to early December—the entire valley transforms into a fiery wonderland. Enjoy free time to explore charming walking trails, picturesque bridges, and peaceful temples nestled among the trees, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the surrounding mountains.
