Last update :

This park is Miyajima's flagship spot for autumn foliage. Every year, around mid to late November, approximately 700 maple trees in the park gloriously change their colors. Of the tree varieties, the Iroha Maple, which turns a brilliant red, is the most predominant with about 560 trees. This is followed by the OoMomiji (Big Maple) with its large leaves, numbering around 100 trees, and then the Urihadakaede and YamaMomiji with about 40 trees combined.

The famous Hiroshima sweet "Momiji Manju" (maple-leaf shaped bun) is said to have been inspired by this park during the Meiji era. One of the park's main attractions is the "Momiji Bridge" at the entrance. This beautiful vermilion-colored bridge becomes even more picturesque during the autumn season when surrounded by the radiant fall colors. The view of the crystal-clear Momijidani River from the bridge is also a classic sight. Every year, during the peak autumn foliage, there are light-up events after sunset. The illuminated leaves offer a fantastical ambiance different from daytime.

The park is also known as a spot for green maples (AoMomiji), and from spring to summer, the fresh green leaves beautifully adorn the park. The contrast between the vermilion "Momiji Bridge" and the lush greenery is indeed splendid.
