京都市西京区の桂坂地域で、道路沿いの並木が紅葉のピークを迎えている。今年は異常気象のためか色付く前に落葉した木々が目立ち、やや色付きも良くないが、それでも道行く人の目を楽しませている。桂坂地域にある全長約2キロの周回道路沿いには、モミジバフウの木が400本近く植えられている。

In the Katsurazaka area of Nishikyo Ward, Kyoto City, the trees lining the roads are reaching their peak of autumn leaves. This year, perhaps due to the abnormal weather, the leaves on the trees have fallen before they change color, and although the color is not very good, it still pleases the eyes of passersby. Nearly 400 Japanese maple trees have been planted along the approximately 2-kilometer loop road in the Katsurazaka area.
