Indulge in seasonal delicacies to satisfy your autumn appetite
Japanese people have cherished the autumn foliage since ancient times, as colorful trees of red and yellow leaves decorate towns from around September to November. Known as the “season of appetite,” autumn brings abundant gifts from nature, such as fruits, vegetables and seafood.
Out of the many seasonal harvests, here we introduce sweet potatoes (Kagoshima), Pacific saury (Hokkaido) and Japanese pear (Tottori). In addition to savoring the treats, be sure to enjoy each uniquely local experience, from harvesting to dining and soaking in hot springs while viewing the autumn foliage.

Hearty baked sweet potato perfectly complements the cooling autumn weather. The best place to enjoy this is Kagoshima, the number one producer of sweet potatoes.
Tasting isn’t the only way to enjoy sweet potatoes. Potato digging in vast nature is a fun activity that can amuse kids and adults alike.
Sweet potato confectionery is very popular in autumn. Not only are they delicious, but they are also beautifully presented!
Pacific saury is in season in autumn, and freshly grilled fatty saury pairs perfectly with sake. Savor this popular seasonal fish at its leading production area in Hokkaido.
Grilled saury isn’t the only way to enjoy this delicious seafood. It is amazing as sushi as well, a dish unique to Japan.
The autumn season brings colors to the surrounding trees, emphasizing the distinctively Japanese atmosphere. Gaze at the beautiful foliage as you soak in a hot spring for an utterly luxurious moment. (Yuyado Daiichi)
The Nijisseiki pear boasts a history of over 100 years since it was first grown in Tottori. Its crisp texture and refreshing sweetness will captivate you like no other.
There are numerous pear orchards in Tottori. Many offer pear-picking activities where you can enjoy the freshly picked juicy fruit on the spot.
Held around the same time as the pear season, over 100 colorful Japanese umbrellas, candles and picture lanterns illuminate the Daisen Temple during the Daisen Daikento Japanese Umbrella Lighting (October).
