Metasequoia Avenue Autumn Colour

The Metasequoia avenue's autumn weeks suit anyone who can come on a weekday, since the colour is brick-brown and the weekend traffic jams are long.
The 500 or so metasequoias along Makino's 2.4 km avenue turn from late November to early December in most years. The tourism association calls the colour brick or brown and warns that it never goes maple red. The light and the weather change the shade from hour to hour.
This is the busiest stretch of the year, and the association asks visitors to help ease the traffic. Free temporary car parks open near the avenue for the season. From 14 November to 13 December 2026 the rental desk at JR Makino Station takes no advance bookings and no bikes from other stations.
Worth knowing
- Come on a weekday morning, and take the community bus from JR Makino Station if you can.
- Never stop on the avenue for photos; it's a local road with cars on it.
