On Sunday I visited Mt. Norikura.
Norikura Echo Line Road, which leads to the starting point for a trail up Mt. Norikura, is closed to motorizes vehicles except for buses and some authorizes vehicles.
With its small traffic and scenic view, the road is popular among Japanese cyclists.
I drove my car to a free parking lot (elev. 1450m), rode my bike up to Tatami-Daira (elev.2700m) via Norikura Echo Line Road, and hiked up to the summit of Mt. Norikura (elev. 3026m).

Overlooking Mt. Norikura :
As the road goes higher than about 2500m, trees cannot grow big, so I can enjoy sceneries :
Leaves were more colorful than I expected :

Your pictures are always stunning, and inspire me to see Japan by bike.

Jay, thank you!
It would be great if you can visit Japan with your bike.
Lucia, you are riding from Kyoto to Tokyo?? That's quite an adventure!
If you stick to urban areas (that means low elevation), leaves are still likely to be green in early November.
If you go to mountain areas, I think you can enjoy fall foliage, but of course there will be a lot of climbing.
Hope you enjoy your visit!
