Mount Mitake is undoubtedly one of Tokyo's top spots for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Located just a few hours away from the center of the metropolis, the 929-meter high peak offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's also a great place to enjoy the best of autumn's color, and the Mount Mitake Tenku Maple Festival is a celebration of the season.
The event is running from late October through late November, and will include a wide variety of vibrant changing leaves to appreciate. There will also be some other fun activities scheduled throughout the festival dates, including an ocarina concert on November 3rd (Culture Day), and a violin concert on November 11th.
