As mentioned above, this year's intense heat is expected to continue into September, so the leaves are expected to start changing color later than usual across the country and change color more slowly.
If high temperatures continue into October, the leaves are expected to change color even later.
However, if temperatures drop suddenly after summer is over, the leaves may change color all at once.
Also, if clear skies in October the nights may be cool and lead to earlier colours. If rain and cloudy then delayed.
An updated summary of events planned last year but cancelled due to a family emergency. This is not a complete list! Looking forward to special events in Japan this year.
Depending on the weather there will be weekly events from October to December 2024. These will mostly be to the best places for the time of year around the Tokyo / Kanto area. Some places I went to many times over a 25 year period hiking out of Tokyo.
The main problem is usually typhoons until after the middle of October.
If I get there early around the first week of October and the weather is ok, then an Alps trip is possible. The Chuo Alps are an easy access option using train or highway bus and cable car to near the top. There is a free lodge on the alpine ridge with great views. Hike is intermediate level and a 3 day weekend best.
OCJ Social Night - Bar or rental room in Tokyo
If in a room we can do a navigation learning session to prepare for outdoor ones later. Discussion of proposed events.
Oct - middle or 3rd week
Okukinu Wild hot spring in the forest with peak autumn colours. Camp free by river and make our own hot spring bath. Great spot for star gazing as well.

Nov - 1st and 2nd week
Great government campsites in Okutama and Gumna with special red maple and tanuki. Okutama site has some rental tents etc but space fills up very early so reliable booking needed in October.
There will be more trips in Gunma and Okutama after that.
