Travelling in Japan in November 2026
The peak of the autumn colour season across most of Honshu, and the month the first winter illuminations switch on, generally from mid-November. Days are short — it is dark by around 5pm — which suits illuminated night viewing but leaves less daylight for sightseeing. Culture Day and Labor Thanksgiving Day both fall in November and make popular viewing spots noticeably busier.
Japanese public holidays this month — expect heavier crowds at the spots above, and on the trains to them:
- Culture Day (Tuesday, November 3)
- Labor Thanksgiving Day (Monday, November 23)
