Autumn Leaves in Kanazawa

Shibuya246 · 21 October 2010 · 8 photos

Red and yellow on the stones.

Walking out of the castle in late October, the paths and the moss were covered in the first fallen leaves of autumn.

A mossy bank beside a path with fallen leaves — Moss and the first fallen leaves.

Fallen leaves on bright green moss — The moss was bright green after the rain.

Close-up of colourful leaves on moss — Every colour of autumn.

Leaves on moss beside a stone edge — Leaves gathering against the stones.

Fallen leaves on moss and stone paving — A carpet of leaves.

Orange leaves on a branch against the sky — Still a few leaves left on the trees.

Old stone steps with a wooden railing — The steps down from the castle.

Kanazawa's autumn colour usually peaks in early to mid November, so I was a little early, but the first leaves were already down.

I took these photos in October 2010 and only got round to posting them in 2026.
