Okunikko is the best place to visit in autumn. There were lots of plants painted with autumn colors.
It is said that the colors usually first arrive in the high elevations of Okunikko around early October, reach Lake Chuzenji in mid October and the Irohazaka Winding Road in late October.
Due to the popularity of Nikko's autumn scenery, traffic to and within the Okunikko area can get very bad during the peak of the season.
To reduce the crowds, it is advisable to avoid weekends and to go early in the day.
My wife and I left home before seven o'clock in the morning and came back home before sunset.
