Mt. Nokogiri makes for a one-of-a-kind day trip adventure from Tokyo with its stunning seaside views, mind-blowing sheer vertical cliffs, and historic Buddhist sites! Although many visitors opt to ride the Nokogiriyama Ropeway to the mountaintop, this cable car occasionally needs to be shut down for repairs, with the next scheduled maintenance occurring from January 14 to February 14, 2025. Luckily in our opinion, the easily-accessible hiking trails are the best way to experience this unique mountain. You can access the trails by taking the JR train lines to Hama-Kanaya Station or by taking the Tokyo Bay Ferry from Kurihama.

✨ Have a happy winter holiday at Country Farm Tokyo German Village! ❄️
It’s time once again for the annual winter illuminations light display here at Country Farm Tokyo German Village. This German-inspired family theme park found here in Chiba transforms to a wonderland every winter, and this year the stunning show will last until April 6! You can spend a whole evening here strolling through the colorfully lit hillsides, but our top recommendation is to take a ride on the park’s Ferris wheel to see all the lights at once from high above!

It was another beautiful fall day here in Chiba, so I hopped on a train and headed to see the autumn foliage in the cities of Nagareyama and Matsudo, which are both located close to Tokyo. Last week, it was the ginkgo leaves that were showing their peak autumn yellows, but now the maple leaves have joined the party and have started to display their colors too!

Scenes of Fall Foliage at Hondo-ji Temple, Matsudo City, Chiba
Expected Peak Colors: Late November to Early December
Hondo-ji Temple is a cultural treasure with over 740 years of history, and it`s one of our favorite spots for enjoying the beauty of fall in a classical Japanese setting. Found in the city of Matsudo, which borders Tokyo, Hondo-ji is a bit of a hidden gem. However, at about a 10-minute walk from Kita-Kogane Station on the JR Joban Line, it’s also an easily accessible destination. If you’re looking to take a quick day-trip from Tokyo during the fall foliage season, Hondo-ji Temple is our top recommendation!
