Not only cherry blossoms! Autumn leaves are also beautiful!

In Omiya Park, 2,500 trees including maple, ginkgo, cherry, sawtooth oak, and metasequoia change color. The maples labeled as yamamomiji (mountain maple) are officially called iroha maple and oomomiji (giant maple). The Iroha maple's maple looks like a frog's hand and was named after the game of counting the leaf lobes as Iroha-nihohe.... An old Iroha maple tree that was planted as a garden tree in a ryotei restaurant that existed during the Meiji and Taisho periods also remains. The Japanese garden near Shirotori Pond offers a view of mountain maples dyed in bright red. Other recommended scenic spots are the Funyuu Pond and the Hyakunen-no-Mori forest.

Historic Omiya Park

In spring, Omiya Park is known for its cherry blossoms, but in autumn, the rows of cherry trees turn bright yellow and red. In particular, the promenade that crosses the park becomes like a tunnel of autumn leaves, making it a perfect spot for a stroll. At the pond in the park, the autumn leaves reflected on the surface of the water create a fantastic atmosphere. The red and yellow trees reflected on the quiet waterside are also a great place to take pictures. The Omiya Park Small Zoo and the Saitama Prefectural Museum of History and Folklore are also located in the park. It is also a good place to stop by during your autumn leaf viewing.
