Autumn in Nara

Although our northern neighbor Kyoto may be most famous for viewing the momiji (red leaves) and koyo (autumn colors) , Nara is also a great place to see the fall foliage as well. One good spot for viewing is in Nara park around the Tōdai-ji area. The last few weeks of November are usually a prime time for viewing.  As I had Monday off this week I took advantage of the great weather we have had and took a ride up there to snap a few photos.
