Because of it's seasonal reason you should reserve the tour in following timing:

Maple trees: Middle to the end of November
The guide does not guarantee if you can see cherry blossoms and maple trees to your
expectation. The nature decides your fortune.
The lunch will be at Italian restaurant near the end of the Philosopher's path, because there
are not many restaurants around that area. Napolitan is super choice. Monday is closed.
If you wish, I am willing to escort you to my favorite Japanese pub," izakaya" at downtown
for you to taste sake or beer as "off duty" tour.
