A sea of red! The autumn leaves of Hokkaido dyed in the morning sun are so beautiful, "I never knew there was a place like this!"

The autumn leaves unique to Abashiri City, Hokkaido, have been talked about as being "too beautiful." The spectacular scenery is captivating, and is quite different from the autumn leaves of maples and ginkgo trees.

Autumn leaves of Coral Grass (Saltwort) at Lake Notoro, Abashiri, Hokkaido I took a photo of the scenery turning red in the morning sun.

The photo shows the whole area covered in crimson. The morning sun illuminates the colorful Halloumi flowers on the shores of Lake Notoro in Abashiri City, creating a bright red scene. On social media, people have been posting comments such as "I can't believe a place like this exists" and "It's so bright red!", drawing attention to its beauty.

Ueda has also photographed various other Hokkaido landscapes, such as the ice crystals seen at Lake Akan and the cherry blossoms at Goryokaku. Why not take a peek at the beautiful scenery through his posts on social media?
