Hiroshima City, Miyajima, and other areas along the Seto Inland Sea coast have fine weather throughout the year, but November offers especially wonderful and comfortable days. From mid-November to early December, visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. Since this is a busy tourist season, be sure to make hotel and other reservations as early as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to see the autumn leaves in Miyajima?
Miyajima’s autumn foliage is usually from mid-November to late November. Miyajima does not have much difference in altitude, so the period when you can enjoy the autumn colors is relatively short. Many tourists come mainly on November 23rd (Labor Thanksgiving Day).
What should I wear in November in Hiroshima City and on Miyajima Island?
The Seto Inland Sea coastal areas such as Hiroshima City and Miyajima are relatively warm, so autumn clothes such as cardigans and jackets are fine. However, the temperature drops considerably after mid-November, so bring a coat or down jacket. For information on Japanese autumn clothes, please refer to the article below.
