Japanese, but not Maple

I had a wander around the village today and decided that I had better take a true picture of Autumn, that I had been putting off (as though that would hold back the season.
I spotted this avenue of trees, empty, bar a group of three people.
To be honest, at the time I hoped that they would clear off,but I soon realised tha they were in no hurry.
On approaching them I realised that they were three young japanese ladies,taking lots of pictures of each other,but too polite t0 ask me to take a picture of them all.
I asked them,and they were very happy.
I started to crop them out of my pictures but then decided that they were after all, part of my day.
