One of Kumamoto City's best - and most unexpected - spots for fall foliage is the plaza in front of the prefectural office. Lined with rows of golden-leafed gingko trees, the vibrant colors draw families and photographers alike during the day. On most nights throughout the month of November, the leaves are illuminated late into the evening as well. With few crowds and free parking, it feels like an autumn escape in the middle of the city.
