On November 20th, which was a Friday, I went out to Mt. Takao to check-up on the progress of the fall colors. I didn't want to go on Saturday because it would have been TOO crowded. It was even quite crowded on Friday! I had to go alone because Kazuya was still in the hospital. The pictures in this row show the very best color which I found on Mt. Takao. These were taken around Momiji-Dai, or "Maple Plateau".

Here are 3 more photos taken in the Momiji-Dai Area. The first 2 shots show you some nice Pampas Grass and the 3rd shot gives you some fantastic red leaves.

I took the trail from Mt. Takao out to I-Ccho-Daira and then on to Mt. Kobotoke-Shiro. These 2 shots of a colorful persimmon tree were taken at Mt. Kobotoke-Shiro.

It was getting cloudy and darker while I ate my late lunch at Mt. Kobotoke-Shiro and as I left there I found this group of colorful Red-Maple trees on the other side of the mountain top. It was no longer sunny, but the colors came out pretty nice anyway. The 3rd shot has been color enhanced and exposure adjusted using PhotoShop.

As I hiked down the Hikage Creek Forest Trail I found this Fall Lindou plant (1st photo) and right beside it was this Thistle (2nd photo). It was the only Fall Lindou I found. I found one additional Thistle flower, but that was all.

After I got to the road which goes to Takao I walked to the bus stop, but it was going to be 30 minutes before the next bus, so I walked down the road towards Takao Station and found another Persimmon Tree which was very picturesque. These 2 photos show you that tree.
