November is very good for Yokohama.
November is Yokohama's year-end masterpiece — foliage season at peak, Sankeien's illumination, the start of Minato Mirai's winter light displays, and a sharp drop in rainfall mean blue skies + warm light + the best photography conditions of the calendar. Average 17°C / 10°C, rainfall 100mm — about half September's volume. Peak foliage in Yokohama runs full color from November 20 through December 5.
November signatures: Sankeien foliage illumination (late November-early December, ~250 maples, $6 entry), Nogeyama foliage walks, Chinatown autumn dessert menus, and the opening of Minato Mirai's free winter illumination (running through February). Sankeien — one of Japan's three great gardens with 17 historic Japanese houses — feels considerably less crowded than Tokyo's Meiji Shrine or Shinjuku Gyoen with equivalent foliage density. The smart Tokyo-area foliage alternative.

Yokohama in November — Full Picture
November is Yokohama's year-end masterpiece — foliage season at peak, Sankeien's illumination, the start of Minato Mirai's winter light displays, and a sharp drop in rainfall mean blue skies + warm light + the best photography conditions of the calendar. Average 17°C / 10°C, rainfall 100mm — about half September's volume. Peak foliage in Yokohama runs full color from November 20 through December 5.
November signatures: Sankeien foliage illumination (late November-early December, ~250 maples, $6 entry), Nogeyama foliage walks, Chinatown autumn dessert menus, and the opening of Minato Mirai's free winter illumination (running through February). Sankeien — one of Japan's three great gardens with 17 historic Japanese houses — feels considerably less crowded than Tokyo's Meiji Shrine or Shinjuku Gyoen with equivalent foliage density.

The price reality: foliage season is Japan's third major travel surge of the year. Hotels jump 1.5-2x, flights run $400-750 from Seoul, and weekend availability tightens dramatically. November 1-15 (pre-peak) is the value window — autumn atmosphere + normal hotel pricing + illuminations already opening.
