Autumn is one of the most incredible seasons of the year in Japan, and that's because of amazing colors!

Based on personal experience as a Tokyo resident, I've ranked my Top 10 fall colors spots that you must see!

But it's very important that you watch until the end of the video, because I will share two bonus locations.

The first is just outside of Tokyo, but it is maybe the best of them all.

The second is a special place where you can see over 5,000 autumn roses.

Soooo let's begin!

Number 10, Mizumoto Park & Inokashira Park.

If you are willing to travel one hour from Tokyo Station, then either park is worth a visit!

Both are great, but unfortunately you might have to choose only one since they're on opposite sides of Tokyo.

Number 9, Todoroki Ravine Park.

Just outside downtown Tokyo is the Todoroki Ravine.

Oh! ...Avril Lavigne!

That's true...it sounds so similar for Japanese.

This is one of the most perfect combinations of nature and autumn viewing that you can find in Tokyo.

Number 8, Ueno Park.

Other than fall color viewing there is so much to do around Ueno Park so I won't say much.

You should just go there and explore instead.

Number 7, Hibiya Park.

This park opened in 1903, and was Tokyo's first ever Western-style park.

It's conveniently located and has beautiful colors.

Don't forget to visit the 500 year-old tree nicknamed the "Risky Gingko."

Number 6, Hamarikyu Gardens.

This old garden is unique because it shows the contrast between Japan's past and the future.

It's located next to Tokyo Bay and is surrounded by modern buildings.

A must-see spot for sure!

Number 5, Koishikawa Korakuen.

One of Tokyo's oldest landscaped gardens, Koishikawa Korakuen is amazing!

Don't miss the photogenic full moon bridge!

Number 4, Yoyogi Park.

This used to be the athlete village during the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

Yoyogi Park is a great option for seeing many colors.

As one of the larger parks it also has cheap bicycle rentals. Yay!

Number 3, Rikugien Gardens.

These incredible gardens were built around 1700 for the 5th Tokugawa Shogun.

They took seven years to build and are home to more than 400 maple trees.

Try and catch a daikagura performance if you can!

Number 2, Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden.

Shinjuku Gyoen is famous for being a combination of three distinct gardens.

In autumn, the Japanese garden has deep red maple leaves.

The British garden has golden gingko trees.

And the French garden is most similar to a European autumn.

Don't forget to check out the greenhouse too!

Number 1, Meiji Jingu Gaien.

This avenue is one of Japan's most beautiful fall viewing spots.

What makes this place so special is the hundreds of golden ginkgo trees that line the avenue with a commercial redevelopment planned for the area.

The future of this incredible site is uncertain.

Make sure you don't miss it.

This year could be your last chance!

And now...

1st BONUS location!

Showa Memorial Park.

The incredible Showa Memorial Park is more than one hour outside of Tokyo.

If you're okay with a little trip, it's one of Japan's best parks to visit year-round.

Look at this!

It's worth it, right?

2nd BONUS location

Jindai Botanical Gardens

If you've never seen over 5000 roses blooming before, then you might want to make the trip to these botanical gardens.

Just make sure to buy your partner, the limited edition rose-flavored soft ice cream.

Oh, so romantic!
