Finally

When is the best time of Tokyo autumn leaves??
I went to 2 places seeking for answer...
Showa-memorial-park(昭和記念公園)
Meiji Jingu Gaien(明治神宮外苑)
 
Both area were said best time was between middle of November and first of December.
So I went these placese at 24st,25st November.
 
Desipite of it,I missed best scenery of autumnleaves..
Showa-memorial-park was little late,Meiji Jingu Gaien was little early.
So I found there were no clear answer.
And if I missed best time, I could enjoy there by atmosphere,other atrractuon or events!!
