What to expect in November

🎯 Kōyō — spectacular autumn foliage at Nikko and Meiji Jingu Autumn in Tokyo is often underrated: 17°C, golden light and declining crowds. An interesting window. Expect rain on 29% of days — a light raincoat in the bag is recommended. Not the best window, but acceptable if dates are constrained. May (7.5/10) is significantly better if possible.
