Tōkai autumn leaves: 3-day campervan (Kōrankei→Iwayadō→Sogi Park→Ōyada→Kotō Sanzan)
3 days, 2 nights ・ ≈577 km ・ 10h 55m driving (estimated)
A mid-November three-day loop from Osaka through Tōkai, hitting five of Japan’s 100 Best Autumn-Leaf Spots: Kōrankei (some 4,000 maples), Iwayadō Park, Sogi Park (lit-up maples mirrored in the pond), Ōyada Momiji Valley and Kotō Sanzan on the way home. Nights only at michi-no-eki / RV parks we checked for 24-hour toilets and no “no overnight parking” signs (rest-and-nap only). Peak timing is adjusted by this season’s forecast, and each spot on the map shows where the colour is right now.
