Migoro, 見頃, the best time to admire autumn leaves

What does the word Migoro mean?

永観堂の紅葉2016

Migoro means the best time to admire something in Japanese. Of course we have Migoro of autumn leaves. Take a look at the picture above. It shows us nothing but Migoro. The maple leaves are in full bloom. Absolutely the best time. However, the best time to admire autumn leaves is not the time we can see them in full bloom.

永観堂の紅葉2016

Do you think it is the best time to adore the autumn leaves in the photo? We think it is the perfect time though some of the leaves are on the ground. Actually, it is a magnificent opportunity we have only one time a decade: The vermilion leaves are in full bloom and the yellow ginkgo and red maple leaves are so fresh and brilliant in colors because they has just fallen on the ground.

In addition to it, this also is Migoro though most of all leaves are gone because we can praise the leaves on the ground.

As we see, “the best time” to admire autumn leaves means rather a long period of time. In fact, “the best time” lasts nearly for a week usually.

It is a peculiar thing on Migoro of autumn leaves. For example, the Migoro of Sakura is a time it is in full bloom and it lasts only for a couple of days.

The following is a summary of Migoro of Autumn leaves spots of Kyoto. It is made on my experiences for couples of years. As I described at the beginning, it is not possible to foresee Migoro.  This is just for your reference.

Migoro comes from north

Geographical reason

Kyoto is in basin. In the northern mountain areas, like Ohara and Takao (the brown area in the map), maple leaves start to turn their colors. Sometimes, the brown area grows into the green area, including the vermilion area (Arashiyama) and blue areas (Kinkakuji and Higashiyama area).

The best time:

  • The brown area・・・・・Early to mid-November
  • The other area (the center of Kyoto)・・・・Mid-November to early December.

About the center of Kyoto

In the center of Kyoto, Autumn leaves bloom doesn’t depend on geographical factor. I have no idea what the reason is they are in Migoro in these ways.

  • Mid November・・・Tenjuan temple, Nanzenji temple, Shinnyodo temple, etc.
  • Late November・・・Ryoanji temple, Korinin temple, Komyoin temple, etc.
  • Early December・・・Yasaka shrine, Kenninji temple, etc.
