Misojien Autumn Leaves Festival

About this event

In Unzen, over 120 varieties of autumn-foliage plants are designated as national natural monuments, beginning to change color around late October and painting Unzen with an overwhelming spectrum woven by nature. Misojien began when the owner of Rokubee Chaya started planting Japanese maples on the mountain behind his home. Over more than 30 years, it has grown into an expansive property of approximately 8,000 tsubo, where over 1,000 maple trees turn vivid shades to enchant visitors. The contrast between the autumn leaves and the bamboo grove is beautiful, and at night it is illuminated, creating a fantastical world. The "inverted autumn foliage" reflected on the surface of the pond is exceptionally scenic. During the day, pop-up stores such as food trucks and sundries shops also appear, creating a lively atmosphere.
