Question 1

Will I catch autumn leaves in Takamatsu in November 1–10?

Accepted Answer

In an average year, Takamatsu's autumn leaves reach peak color around November 23. For a November 1–10 trip, the chance of overlapping peak color is ~4%, and the chance of seeing at least some autumn color is ~34%.

Question 2

What will the trees actually look like in November 1–10?

Accepted Answer

Across November 1–10 in an average year, expect roughly 8.5 days of still green, and 1.5 days of colours turning. Leaves still mostly green — colour hasn't reached this city yet in most years.

Question 3

What if I miss peak color in Takamatsu?

Accepted Answer

This window is a stretch in Takamatsu — on the same dates you'd likely have better odds in Sapporo (Hokkaido) (67%) instead. Or shift your own trip a few days later toward the peak (around November 23).
