Ginkgo Avenue of Tokyo Jingu Gaien: A golden autumn feast awaits you
Ginkgo Avenue of Tokyo Jingu Gaien is one of the most famous ginkgo viewing spots in Japan, located in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo. From mid-November to early December each year, the ginkgo trees here turn golden, forming a beautiful golden ocean, attracting a large number of tourists to watch.
Tour guide:
1. Best viewing time: The best viewing time is from mid-November to early December each year, when the ginkgo leaves have completely turned yellow, showing a golden scene under the sunlight.
2. Transportation: Take the subway Hanzomon Line or Ginza Line from Tokyo Station to Kudanshita Station, and walk about 10 minutes to get there. You can also take a bus to Kudanshita or Gaienmae Station.
3. Tickets: Free. But you need to buy tickets to visit the inside of the shrine, 300 yen for adults, 150 yen for students.
4. Tour route: Ginkgo Avenue is about 2 kilometers long, with a large number of ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the avenue. You can choose to walk or ride a bicycle to visit. In addition, you can also visit other attractions in the shrine, such as the main hall, worship hall, etc.
5. Precautions: Since there are a large number of tourists every year, it is recommended to avoid going on weekends and holidays as much as possible to avoid too many people affecting the viewing experience. In addition, since ginkgo leaves are easy to fall when the wind is strong, be careful when watching.
6. Surrounding food: After visiting Ginkgo Avenue, you can taste some traditional Japanese food in the nearby Chiyoda Ward, such as sushi, ramen, etc.
Beautiful place! And also very very popular! Do visit early if you want less photobombers. There is illumination at night so do stay on after sunset!
🍂🇯🇵If you find yourself in Tokyo in November, you absolutely must make a beeline for Meiji Jingu Gaien. This hidden gem is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to experience the magic of autumn in Japan.Where even the trees are getting dressed up for fall! You won't believe the shades of gold and crimson on display. Plus, you might just catch a tree doing a wardrobe change. Definitely a "leaf"-y must-see in Tokyo this season! Remember to check the calendar to catch the leaves showing off their fall fashion. Timing is everything in the world of leaves, and you don't want to miss this colorful runway show! 🥹✨
The atmosphere light up on the last day, the end of the season, the leaves change color. Even the leaves are sprinkled But the atmosphere is still beautiful, worth going
The Ginkgo Avenue in the outer garden of Meiji Shen Palace is also one of the most famous and beautiful streets in Tokyo: more than 300 meters of streets, full of ginkgo trees, it looks particularly spectacular! The queue welcomes the same ~ It is estimated that the temperature is cold and warm this year. Some trees are still all green, and some yellow ones have fallen off. I want to take the effect of the street "with gold armor". There is only a short angle. The north-south sidewalk tree also fell into the shadow because of the west of the sun. And because it just rained in the morning, it was not ideal to affect the ground condition---travelers like weaving, walking too much, the ginkgo leaves that fell were all trampled...uh, the puddle perspective is two more! 🚉 Traffic Raiders: Metro Ginza Line "Qingshan Yichome" Station, and then walk for about 10 minutes.
To enjoy the beauty of a large area of ginkgo, or to go to the so-called name, the first of all is the Meiji Temple outside the garden of the Meiji Temple. These ginkgo trees were worshipped to the Meiji Temple on October 22, 1926 and planted in the outer garden of the Shengong. From Qingshan Tong, there are 146 ginkgo trees on both sides of the road to the Meiji Memorial Museum, and mid-to-late November is the best period to enjoy.
