From the end of September, Hokkaido (Japan) begins to enter its most beautiful season of the year. Visitors who come here during this time will be captivated by the vibrant skies, the roads, and the trees changing color, resembling a beautiful ink painting.
In autumn, Hokkaido is as enchanting as a beautiful girl; visitors can admire the incredibly romantic scenery with entire areas covered in breathtaking shades of golden and red leaves.
The narrow roads lined with maple trees whose leaves are changing color have become a "specialty" of autumn in Hokkaido.
The autumn scenery of Hokkaido is gentle in the early morning sun.
Returning from her trip to Japan, travel blogger Ngo Tran Hai An will suggest some must-see destinations if you want to experience the autumn scenery of Hokkaido to the fullest.
Daisetsuzan National Park
In Hokkaido, the mountain ranges of Daisetsuzan National Park are the first to see the autumn foliage change color each year. This is the time when many tourists flock to the region to admire the beautiful natural scenery.
Northern Horse Park (Misawa Road, Tomakomai)
This is a popular location for horse riding demonstrations and features a Japanese-style hok-key training area nestled among maple trees. The roads leading to Northern Horse Park are still lined with maple trees stretching for kilometers.
Golden leaves fall to the ground, creating a beautiful autumn carpet.
Visitors can enjoy the changing natural scenery throughout the year here, but the autumn foliage remains one of the most breathtaking sights.
The small forest next to the Hilton Niseko hotel
Nearby is a small lake that beautifully reflects the surrounding landscape. This also offers a stunning view of Mount Yotei. In autumn, the beauty of this place is even more spectacular, with splashes of orange, red, and yellow reflected against the deep blue of the lake.
Besides sightseeing on foot, visitors can also participate in outdoor activities such as mountain climbing, canoeing on the river, cycling, etc.
Take Route 775 to Asahidai
With two rows of trees displaying vibrant golden leaves in the romantic autumn sunshine, this route is the ideal place to stroll, admire the scenery, and capture memorable moments of Hokkaido's autumn.
NIKI Hills Village
Still a "specialty" with long roads lined with dense maple forests that make the mountain range change color brilliantly. Niki is a winery with a restaurant offering stunning autumn views.
At this location, visitors can see many species of animals and plants as they go deeper into the forest.

Otaru Canal
Many houses are situated along canals, their roofs covered in climbing maple trees, creating a romantic scene reminiscent of those we often see in movies. Strolling along Sushiyadori and Sakaimachihondori streets, visitors will find many charming little shops perfect for taking "street life" photos that capture the essence of Japanese scenery.
In autumn, the scenery of the lake continues to change. Small houses, nestled among lush foliage, are reflected on the deep blue lake, the colors blending together to create a masterpiece of nature with a beauty that cannot be described in words.
Okurayama Jump Stadium
Here, visitors can take a cable car to the mountaintop to enjoy panoramic views of Sapporo city. The skyscrapers interspersed with the changing colors of the mountains create an incredibly majestic and breathtaking scene. To experience the best atmosphere, visitors should arrive before 3 PM.
In autumn, the trees and plants on Mount Moiwa change color, and looking down from the cable car, you'll be overwhelmed by the breathtaking sight of golden leaves spread out before your eyes.
Ginkgo Trees at Hokkaido University
Finally, you can't miss the "most beautiful autumn avenue in Japan." This is considered the most beautiful autumn road in Japan, with its scenery overflowing with the characteristic colors of changing maple leaves. Here, visitors can freely capture stunning photographs.
