Our Visit at Momiji-dani Valley at Niigata

Last Sunday, we made sure to see the autumn tree named Momiji, and it is the most beautiful of all the autumn trees. Known also like the maple tree, which turned its leaves color to dark red and yellow shades. We noticed that the season for fully colored mMomijiautumn colors is mid-November to early December, wherein the weather has dramatically changed to cold temperature with 10 degrees and below. The Momiji tree has a combination of colors of bright hues red, orange, and yellow, and when mixed was too pleasant to the eyes.

We left the house by around 10 am and almost reached the park after 1 hour of drive. On the day of our visit, the parking area was way too full, and the line of the cars on the road was too long. We tried to wait for a while, but we noticed the cars aren’t moving anymore. We decided to change our route, looked for a parking space, and went to the park on foot.

A lot of visitors were mostly local and were walking through the path of the park. We also saw beautiful flowers arrangement along the way and took an opportunity to take a picture even in the middle of the crowd. Take note that all the visitors must wear a mask for protection to covid19 and observe a physical distancing of up to 1 meter.

The start of our way on the way to the park. A lot of Momiji leaves can see falling on the floor in different shades.

We saw this in the hallway on the way, and it looks like there is a flower display festival going to the nearest place of the park. One flower has a tray to help it stand. The size of the flower is so amazingly big in different colors.

Flower arrangement at a nearest place of Yahiko Park.
One more group of flowers caught our attention with only one stem planted on the soil, but so many flowers on the top of it. Properly distributed and arranged by the use of metal in different shapes and stands.

Another view we passed by which caught our attention going to the park is this fall leaves in golden color covering the soil.
The Tunnel of Momiji dani Village.
By entering the tunnel is the entrance to Yahiko Park. The tunnel was a cute size, so we took a photo before passing on it.

The park has many chairs around it if visitors want to rest because of the long walk while checking the autumn colors.

We saw many bright red leaves on the top of the bridge inside the park.

Once we saw the park full of bright colors, we can’t stop ourselves from taking pictures in every corner. Our first-year experience with the autumn tree and our eyes really enjoyed everything surrounding the park. Maybe this is why the fall in Japan became the most visited season. Visiting this place will give the guest more space during weekdays.

We went home after 1 hour of touring the park. It was cloudy by that time, and we managed to stop by one of the street food stores along the road going to the parking area. We got our late lunch and ate a quick meal as we waited for the heavy rain to stop. Our children were very patient at that time and enjoyed walking along with us.

After choosing a better store with a table and roof so our children can get a rest and can eat well we ordered a simple grilled lunch.

Foods we bought outside the Yahiko Park.
Grilled Squid, corn, japanese snail, and yakisoba for our quick lunch.

After eating, we headed back to the car park and went home. Still raining while we walk to the car park but we manage to return with the only socks wet on that day. Rain or shine, we will continue to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Japan. On that day, another adventure added to the bank memory of our children.
