Tsuruga Castle (Aizu City – Wakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture)
Visitors can feel the beauty of autumn leaves at Tsuruga Castle (also known as Wakamatsu Castle) from Tsuruga-jo Park located around the castle. The entire castle and trees will be lit up every year from late October to mid-November.

Okayama Castle (Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture)
The exterior of Okayama Castle's watchtower, also known as the main tower, is covered with smoky black, hence the nickname "Crow Castle". Visitors here are always impressed by the contrast between the black of the wall and the red of the leaves!
