Bessho-numa Park

Strolling along the waterfront in autumn with ginkgo and metasequoia trees in Bessho-numa Park

Bessho-numa Park is a recommended place to relax and enjoy the changing of the seasons as the park is enveloped in vividly colored autumn leaves in fall. The ginkgo trees near the entrance are a bright yellow, reminding you of the arrival of autumn the moment you enter the park. As you walk deeper into the park, the rows of metasequoia trees turn a soothing reddish-brown, and together with the waterside of the swamp, you can enjoy a peaceful and beautiful scene. The reflections of the metasequoia trees on the surface of the water are particularly impressive, and the park offers visitors a tranquil experience that is hard to believe they are in the city. This park is a must-visit for those who want to enjoy the autumn leaves while strolling around, as well as for those who want to savor the autumnal scenery.

Key points for photography

The first key to photographing is to choose a day when there is no wind. Photographing in forward light in the morning or evening, when the sun is tilted, will create a clear and beautiful reflection of the scenery in the pond. Also, since metasequoia trees are densely packed, using the wide-angle mode of your smartphone and shooting as if looking up will result in a picture with a sense of scale and power as if you are enveloped by the trees.
