As we reach mid-November, the trees in Ueno, Tokyo, have transformed into brilliant shades of crimson and gold, marking the peak of the autumn foliage season.<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The contrast between the crisp blue sky and the vibrant autumn leaves creates a breathtaking scenery unique to late autumn in Japan. With a refreshing chill in the air, here is our recommended way for international guests to experience the best of Ueno during this magical time of year.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Contrast of Autumn Foliage and Historic Architecture in Ueno Park<\/strong> Just a short walk from VILLA CUSTOMA, Ueno Park is currently showcasing stunning rows of golden ginkgo trees and fiery red Japanese maples. We especially recommend the areas around the vermilion-painted Kiyomizu Kannon-do Temple, Gojoten Shrine, and Ueno Toshogu Shrine. The harmony between traditional Japanese architecture and the colorful autumn leaves offers quintessential photo opportunities that capture the true essence of autumn in Japan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An Intellectual Retreat into Japanese Art and Gardens<\/strong> After enjoying a brisk walk through the park, step into the Tokyo National Museum or the National Museum of Western Art. During the autumn season, the traditional Japanese garden behind the Tokyo National Museum is often open to the public, allowing visitors to quietly admire the classic landscape design framed by autumn colors. Spend a luxurious afternoon immersing yourself in Japan&rsquo;s rich history and art.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Evening Walks in Ameyoko and Heartwarming Comfort Food<\/strong> In November, the sun sets early and the evening air turns quite brisk. When the chill sets in, head over to the lively Ameyoko shopping street. Under the warm glow of red lanterns, treat yourself to steaming Japanese winter warmers&mdash;such as simmering <em>oden<\/em> (fish cakes and vegetables in broth), hearty stews, or a hot bowl of ramen. It is the ultimate way to experience local food culture while warming up from the inside out.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a full day of soaking in the vibrant colors of Japanese autumn, the chic and calming guest rooms at VILLA CUSTOMA await your return. Unwind with a warm bath and a restful night&rsquo;s sleep in our comfortable private spaces.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":70,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":71,"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69\/revisions\/71"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/villa-customa.tokyo\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
