Agatanomori Park in central Matsumoto transforms into a fiery tapestry of red maples, golden ginkgos, and russet oaks each autumn. The park's broad walking paths allow leisurely strolls beneath a canopy of colour, with the Japanese Alps visible on clear days. Local families and photographers alike flock here for its accessible yet genuinely vivid foliage displays. The park pairs beautifully with a visit to nearby Matsumoto Castle for a full autumn day.
