Enjoy the morning view of ginkgo and pond in late autumn at Gyoda Suijo Park

Suijo Park in Gyoda is a recommended spot for beautiful autumn foliage of gingko trees. Especially in late autumn, the gingko trees in the park all turn golden, creating a vivid scene where visitors can feel the deepening of autumn just by walking around. The contrast between the spacious pond and the rows of gingko trees is also attractive, and you can enjoy taking pictures while strolling leisurely under the clear autumn sky. In the early morning, the sunrise over the pond reflects on the surface of the water, creating a beautiful reflection on a windless day, so a visit in the quiet morning hours is also recommended.

Key points for photography

The first key to photographing is to check for wind. Even the slightest shaking of the water's surface will prevent the morning glow and pond reflection from being formed, so the basic rule is to check the wind speed in the weather forecast for the day before and on the day of the sunrise and choose a day when the wind is as light as possible. In particular, early morning, just after sunrise, is the most stable time to target reflections because the wind is less likely to be blowing. When you arrive at the site, first observe the surface of the pond to see if a reflection is likely to be formed, and then decide on a shooting position for the most efficient shooting. In the morning when the wind is light and there are moderate clouds, the colors of the sky can easily be reflected in the water, resulting in impressive sunrise photos.
