In the five days since my last report there, the leaves at Daiichi Kaen have changed considerably.
Looking up from the forest road, I could see a broad expanse of leaves that were so deeply colored I thought the best season must have arrived. However, when I climbed up to the middle area, I found that the coloring there has not progressed to the same degree as below.
Nonetheless, more and more leaves are turning, and it appears we will enter the full-scale fall foliage season earlier than usual.
