If you browse a little the guides on this web site, you probably will find lots of ideas for your trip. Here is a small list of places I really like in autumn :

- Towada-ko, a beautiful lake surrounded by forests that turn red in autumn.
- Hachimantai area, with amazing hikes in a very active volcanic activity - great colors in autumn, too
- [url=http://www.secret-japan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=714]Tanigawa-dake is a mountain range where you can have great views on the surroundings.
- [url=http://www.secret-japan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=67]Oze area is amazing, too - it is the highest march in Japan
- [url=http://www.secret-japan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3]Kami-Kochi area is one of the top place in Japan in autumn, so it can be very crowded, too. Great is you can visit during the week.
