Kyoto
I recommend you stay in Kyoto for at least 2 days to see the beauty and tradition of Japan!
You can see red and yellow autumn leaves in Kyoto from the middle of November until early December. It depends on the weather; therefore, I highly recommend checking their website before you visit. You need to book it beforehand at some places to see the best view.
And not to mention, most shrines and temples do not accept credit cards to get tickets. Always bring cash!

The perfect time for them depends on each place. I highly recommend checking their website before you visit. Usually it lasts until early December if it's in west Japan.
