Early autumn on Nami Island

Early autumn on Nami Island—spanning late September to mid‑October—is a serene and quieter prelude to the peak season of vibrant reds and golds. Early autumn brings the first tinges of fall: soft yellow and pale orange tones begin to appear on cornelian cherry, ginkgo, and birch trees While the punctuations of red maples come later, the overall palette is more muted and peaceful. With peak foliage crowds not yet arrived, early autumn is ideal for quiet strolls—many visitors praise arriving on the first ferry to enjoy empty paths . #localguides
