These are Japanese maple leaves at the Koishikawa Botanical Garden in Tokyo. As the fall foliage season was almost over, I thought autumn leaves had mostly fallen. So, it was a happy surprise to see many trees still showing such beautiful yellow, orange and red leaves against the blue sky! The trees at the garden are all large, so I was able to take many pictures of these leaves from below (first 3 photos).
The Koishikawa Botanical Garden, a garden about 40 acres in Central Tokyo, was opened by the Tokugawa shogunate in the 17th century to grow medicinal herbs. In 1877, after the Meiji Restoration, it became a part of Tokyo Imperial University and currently the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Science. The admission fee is JPY500 (i.e., about USD4.5) for adults.

小石川植物園の紅葉です。もう12月なのであまり期待せずに行ったので、思いがけず残っていた、青空に映える色とりどりの葉が信じられないぐらいきれいでした。
