Yes, fall colors were still going! There was a pop-up show called Naked at Shinjuku Gyoen that I managed to get tickets to through Lawson (with an American phone number). My daughter, who lives in Tokyo picked the tickets up. I think there's a 4 day window, so if you ever see something that you want to do, but you are having a tough time getting tickets, check with Lawson. You could order just before leaving and pick up upon arrival in Japan.
The Ginko Trees were really cool there and several other places we went. Even in Tokyo Disneysea, there were a few places that the foliage was stunning. I will look through our photos and post a few and note where we were.
So, while we weren't there for fall foliage specifically, we enjoyed it casually (other than seeking out the one event I mentioned above).
This was shot from the queue for the Gondolier Ride in DisneySea.

This was my worst recovery coming back from Asia, but it was also the only time I only slept for less than 2 hours on the flight over. Sorry I'm not up to a trip report, but I am getting Christmas under control here at home, just in time.
