DRIMO published a list of five recommended autumn leaf viewing spots in Japan, based on the experience of an author who completed a two-year trip around the country with over 400 nights spent sleeping in a vehicle. The list includes Hida Kokubunji Temple in Takayama, Gifu Prefecture, and other locations; nearby overnight parking spots are noted for some, such as the Alp Hida-Furukawa roadside station.
