What is it about the harvest season that is so horrifying? Perhaps it is the importance that the season used to have or how it heralds the end of the productive season and the beginning of the barren season. Still, harvest is associated with some of the most terrifying monsters ever. Think of the terrors of Children of the Corn or Blair Witch Project in America. Harvest horrors in Japan tend to be very different from other countries. Gaijinpot goes in search of the horrors of the harvest featuring some yokai (creatures from Japanese folklore) you probably haven’t heard of. 1. AmabieNowadays wh...

The nights are getting colder and the days are getting shorter, which means autumn is coming. It’s that time of year when we do away with our shorts and swimsuits and make room for sweaters, scarves and all things cozy. While spring in Japan is undoubtedly famous among international tourists due to sakura (cherry blossom) painting the sky pink, something about fall makes it just as unique. In Japan, autumn means clear evening skies,crimson red foliage, beautiful seasonal blooms and tasty sweets and sake. And if there’s one thing Japan does well, it’s celebrating the seasons, so let’s look at h...

Things are slowly opening up around Japan, but that doesn’t mean we want to charge into the most crowded and popular koyo (autumn leaf viewing) spots straight away. The leaves have already fallen in most of the country, but there is still time to view the fall foliage (or plan for next year). While everyone is always looking for secret hanami (flower viewing) spots, you don’t hear people often talking about hidden koyo spots. So here are a few starting points in each region to take in the beauty of Japan’s fall colors while avoiding the crowds. KantoWith so many options as day trips from Tokyo...

As summer transitions into autumn, so do the different flavors at cafes and convenience stores in Japan. Japanese culture loves to celebrate each passing season by creating dishes surrounding abundant crops during that period. In summer, it’s all about watermelons and peaches, while in autumn, crops like chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and persimmons take center stage. Sweet potatoes in Japan are candy-sweet, high in fiber and other nutrients. So it’s no wonder that in grocery stores, it’s often sold on its own. Let’s narrow down some sweet potato treats that caught our eye this fall. 1. Starbucks’...

September and October mark the beginning of autumn in Japan, my favorite season. Then, of course, there’s koyo (autumn leaves) to look forward to, and there’s also the seasonal produce that opens up a whole range of possibilities in the flavor department. So after moving away from the cold noodles and salads of summer towards the warm stews and fragrant autumn sweets, I wanted to try something different. Today on Japanese Recipe Adventures, we’re making the much-adored dorayaki. Sort of like a Japanese pancake, dorayaki is traditionally made up of two pillowy-soft buns wrapped around sweet azu...

A quaint coastal town on the tip of the Kii peninsula in Mie Prefecture, Ise has been welcoming pilgrims to pay their respects at Japan’s holiest shrine for centuries.

If you’re a lover of dramatic alpine scenery, you really need to make the trip out to the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, a path traversing the Northern Japan Alps in central Japan. The whole route is an impressive 90 kilometers, stretching from Tateyama Station in Toyama Prefecture to Shinano-Omachi station in neighboring Nagano Prefecture, climbing to an elevation of 3,015 meters as it crosses the peak of Mount Tateyama. This spectacular route can be traversed via ropeways and cable cars, so children and those who are not avid hikers can also enjoy its incredible scenery. Each point where you ...

Tofuku-ji Temple is arguably the spot for viewing the changing colors of the autumn leaves.The main garden’s path takes you through a forest of maple trees and then up above it – via the famous Tsuten-kyo Bridge – so that you peer down on a blanket of red. It’s a breathtaking experience that draws equally breathtaking crowds during the high season. Yet, the various gardens of what is Kyoto’s oldest Zen temple are a delight all year round.Tofuku-ji was founded in 1236 by statesman Kujo Michiie, who wanted to establish in Kyoto a site comparable to the Nara temples Kofuku-ji and Todai-ji, which ...
