Autumn leaves in the Kuju Mountains

This is the number one plateau area in Kyushu with Mt. Naka-dake, the highest peak 1,791m above sea level, Mt. Ofuna, and Mt. Kuju. It is also famous for the spring Rhododendron kiusianum, but in autumn the mountains are dyed a fiery red and yellow and the ears of the Japanese silver grass in the foothills of the Kuju Highland glows in yellow color. The imposing mountains of the Kuju Mountains together with the magnificent scenery are spectacular.
