More autumns leaves and Tori no ichi Matsuri as well as atumn lightup and winter - Illumination time!
Maybe it's the third big thing after Sakura hanami (chery blossoms) and Koyo (admiring autumn leaves): Winter illumination time! And boy how Tokyo performs when it comes to christmas illumination! Besides ther is still matsuri action and even fireworks can be found - though not for new years eve. Furthermore the last autumn colours fade with the Ginko trees showing their beautiful yellow.
Talking about colours: Dont miss tori no ichi matsuri held on two or three days in November, which come with beautiful shiny colours and nice action.
