Today my wife Thuong and I are cycling over to one of the top Autumn leaves viewing spots in Aichi (愛知), Nagoya (名古屋), etc.. Korankei Valley (香嵐渓) in Asuke (足助), Toyota (豊田).

今日のサイクリングは奥さんと一緒にロードバイクで愛知県の有名な紅葉スポットに行ってみました！香嵐渓です！

Most people go here by bus, and it can get really busy with traffic jams since most roads over here are single lane. Fortunately for us, it’s only about a 30 km cycle away and we can go most of the way on the cycling path along the Sanage mtn Green Road path. If you’re interested in seeing our route, here’s our ride on Strava.

November is in my opinion the best time to cycle in Japan. The weather is nice and cool. Not too hot and not too cold, and the colorful leaves (red, yellow, green) are absolutely stunning. Having no humidity after a long hot & humid summer is also pretty great.

We also grabbed some gohei-mochi, a must eat snack while cycling around Japan. Popular any time of the year, but especially in the Fall.

We also just got our new Taiyaki cycling knee warmers in today, and they look awesome!
