Yes, we’re all still revelling in our long-awaited British summer, but I’m secretly already looking forward to my favourite season. And with a number of amazing events in London already announced, it’s quite easy to get excited for autumn. Joining this line-up of happenings is the wonderful Japan Festival over at Kew Gardens, which aims to celebrate the fascinating plants, art, and culture of Japan.

Running from October 2 to 31, the festival will take over the Kew Gardens trail and Temperate House with colourful installations and performances. The artwork will add to the already stunning displays of nature during the season, when the trees start brimming with red leaves and gorgeous foliage. During the month of October, you’ll find a dedicated ‘Momijigari trail’ which celebrates the seasonal beauty of nature, and will lead you past Japanese landmarks such as Chokushi-Mon, the Japanese Gateway, the Minka House and Ginkgo Grove.

The Marianne North Gallery will showcase more Japanese plants and landscapes, while the Temperate House at Kew Gardens will be home to a number of installations and events. One Thousand Springs by Japanese artist Chiharu Shiota is a ‘construction of 5,000 haikus suspended in a web of red threads’, and you’ll also find displays of Japan’s national flower, the chrysanthemum. The sound designer Yosi Horikawa will mesmerise visitors with his soundscape show, where they can listen to tranquil sounds recorded in Japan, such as rocks thrown into pools and wind rustling through trees.
