Kimi no Mori Metasequoia Avenue (Oami-Shirasato City)

Kimi no Mori Metasequoia Avenue (Oami-Shirasato City)

Walking along the tree-lined avenue like an autumn-colored tunnel in the Kibi no Mori metasequoia trees

The straight avenues of metasequoia trees in Kibinomori turn golden in autumn, creating a breathtaking view that makes you want to stop in your tracks. Just walking along the avenue is like being enveloped in a tunnel of autumn colors, and the trees look great in photographs no matter which direction you cut them from. Located in a quiet residential area, the Kibinomori metasequoia trees are a “hidden gem” perfect for those who want to enjoy the autumn colors in a relaxed atmosphere.

Key points for photography

The key to photographing this scene is to emphasize depth by taking advantage of the straight lines of the tree-lined street. Composing the image from the center or the edge of the road, with the vanishing point in mind, will accentuate the golden tunnel created by the metasequoia. The low morning and evening light gives shading to the color of the foliage, and forward light can express the coloration and backlighting can express the brilliance of the translucent foliage. Choosing a time of day when there are few people or cars and shooting from a low angle will help convey a sense of serenity, resulting in a tranquil shot that is typical of the Kibinomori metasequoia trees.
