As summer fades and fall creeps in, the stunning autumn landscapes in various countries are a sight to behold. Now is the time to plan a trip and choose your favorite place to enjoy the beauty of the season.

Hokkaido, the second largest island in Japan, is a natural paradise with an abundance of wildlife, towering mountains, pristine forests, and crater lakes. The autumn foliage season in Hokkaido begins in mid-September in Daisetsuzan National Park and gradually spreads southward to other parts of the island.

The fiery red autumn leaves can be seen in late September in Shiretoko National Park, early October in Sapporo, and mid-October in Onuma Park and Hakodate, the southernmost part of the island.

New Zealand's South Island, home to Fjords National Park, receives abundant spring water every September. Milford Sound, also known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," is a sight to behold with its vast waterfalls, rainforests, glaciers, and wildlife such as dolphins, seals, sea lions, and penguins.

Take a luxury tour from Queenstown through the Southern Alps to Milford Sound, where you can enjoy paddling and soak in the beautiful scenery. For several days of sightseeing, book a luxury hotel room or countryside loft cabin overlooking Lake Te Anau.

Travel through the romantic and quaint countryside of Germany into the breathtaking natural beauty of Switzerland and on to the most romantic town in France, Colmar.

Along the way, experience the classics of Germany, Switzerland, and France. Neuschwanstein Castle, the world's most famous castle and the prototype of the classic castle at Disneyland, is located in Germany. It was built by a romantic king and is known as the "closest thing to a fairy tale" in the world during autumn.

The beautiful German town of Heidelberg is where Goethe "came three times and forgot his heart for the third time." It is picturesque in autumn with scenic old bridges, exquisite cafes and pubs, and old gardens and palaces.

On the other hand, Baden-Baden is nestled in the beauty and charm of the beautiful Black Forest and is a great place to enjoy life with vast vineyards emitting the fragrance of autumn and famous Roman-style spas.

The Mazury region in northeastern Poland, about 270 kilometers from Warsaw, is a sparsely populated area with 2,000 lakes and small forested islands, and a dense network of rivers that make the entire region accessible by kayak and small boat. It is best to cycle or hike through the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and enjoy the natural beauty of the area during autumn.

Visitors can also see the other historical sites in the nearby villages and towns. Lake Niegocin and Lake Sniardwy, the largest in the region, have the most developed tourism infrastructure.

Autumn is a great time to travel to various parts of the world to experience the beauty of the season.

From Hokkaido's natural paradise to the romantic countryside of Germany, and the breathtaking natural beauty of New Zealand's Fjords National Park, there are plenty of destinations to choose from. So, make your plans, pack your bags, and embark on a journey to remember!
