Autumn Colors at the Metasequoia Avenue**

Just about a 20-minute drive from Kakurekura lies one of Shiga’s most beloved autumn spots —the Metasequoia Avenue.The trees have finally begun to change color, marking the beginning of a beautiful seasonal shift.

From soft green to warm orange and deeper shades of red, the transformation is gentle yet stunning.There is something calming about watching the colors deepen day by day —as if the whole landscape is quietly breathing with the season.

Some mornings are wrapped in a light mist, giving the avenue a dreamlike, almost ethereal beauty.This “early coloring” period is a special time when the scenery changes subtly with every visit.

After enjoying the avenue, spending a slow moment back at Kakurekura can be a soothing way to end the day.The warm tones of the autumn light on the old storehouse, and the peaceful countryside evenings, offer a quiet comfort that is unique to this place.

We hope you’ll enjoy both the colors of the season and the gentle rhythm of life in the Japanese countryside.
