About this event
At Nara Prefectural Tatsuta Park in Ikaruga Town, Ikoma District, Nara Prefecture, visitors can enjoy autumn foliage across an expansive area stretching about 2 kilometers along the Tatsuta River. Mentioned in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu anthology, the Tatsuta River is known as a famous autumn foliage spot beloved by poets. The riverside, blooming with cherry blossoms in spring, turns brilliant crimson in autumn, offering exceptional views of foliage reflected on the water's surface and colorful fallen leaves floating like brocade. While being a hidden gem a short distance away from famous tourist spots such as Horyuji Temple, the beauty of the autumn leaves captivates visitors. Even just strolling along the river will give you a sense of luxury. In addition, the popular 'Tatsuta River Autumn Leaves Festival' featuring flea markets will also be held along the Tatsuta River. Combining natural beauty with historical background, this park is a wonderful spot to experience the arrival of autumn.
