I seem to remember a certain fodorite predicting that fall would be a little later this year in Japan more than six months ago.......

Thanks HT. Does that say I'm unlikely to see fall color in the Japan Alps the first week of October?

thursdaysd, maybe in the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Pass area of the Alps. It is expensive to do the pass though with the private transport systems....
