三連休(san ren kyu): Three-day weekend

Next Monday is a national holiday, therefore this weekend is a three day weekend. This is the fifth and the last one in this year.
At this time of the year it is the season for outings. Many leaves turn to yellow and red and very beautiful. We call this colored leaves koyo (紅葉), literally red leave. 紅葉 is also read as momiji, which means maples. Going maple viewing is momijigari (紅葉狩り) in Japanese.
You can check the good view points from the following site though it is written in Japanese.....
