Autumn Seen from the Train Window

On the Shinkansen from Morioka to Kakunodate, I saw beautiful autumn foliage outside the window.

The mountains stretching out across the river were tinged with shades of red, yellow, and orange. Against the blue sky, the contrast with the trees that still held traces of green was so beautiful that I couldn’t help but take a photo.

It wasn’t a famous spot for autumn foliage—just a view I happened to come across while traveling. It’s such a joy to be able to enjoy nature’s fall colors like this from the train window.

The “Akita Inland Longitudinal Railway” and the “Komachi Shinkansen” offer not only stunning autumn foliage but also magnificent snowy landscapes.
If you ever visit Akita, I highly recommend experiencing them for yourself.
