I love Autumn!!. The Weather is mild, the food is delicious, autumn is good for everything I think. On TV, the ads are changing to autumn themems. I will pick some nice travel and food ads today.
JR East has "a travel alone for adult" campaign. The actress is Sayuri Yoshinaga (cute!) who is a very popular in Japan, you can also see her in Sharp Aquos TV ads. This is the Shinshu version, this is Aomori prefecture, aah I want to go traveling again soon. JR Tokai has service with the Shinkansen running between Tokyo and Osaka. Here is their Kyoto travel campaign page. During each season spring, summer, winter, Kyoto has different face and beauty. This is autumn. The images are covered with red and gold. Unfortunately I can't find any tv ad movies, but this site has some streaming videos of Kyoto.
Every Autumn Kirin releases an Autumn Beer. This year they have 47 kinds of delicious food presents. Koichi Sato eats many good foods! This is Matsuzaka Beef, this is Hida Beef sukiyaki, more, more and more! The ads make me hungry. :-) You can check on this page to see all of them. (please click "CM") This is Japanese soup stock DASHI TV ad, The actress is Takanohana's ex girlfriend Rie Miyazawa. Japanese radish Daikon is very delicious in autumn and winter. Of course there are autumn versions of many sweets and snacks, and I will check and report on them later!
Hi Ted
I did not see Ronin, but 47 is the number of prefectures in Japan. You will see 47 often when we talk something.

47 different kinds? Is the number 47 special in Japan? After all, this is the same number of Ronin. Or is this just coincidence?
