In Japan, there is a tradition called “momijigari” (autumn leaf viewing). Although the word includes “hunting,” it does not mean picking the leaves. Instead, people enjoy the beauty of nature in autumn by admiring the colorful trees🍁

Why not visit a nearby park or temple and experience the beauty of autumn in Japan? 😊
