Aiming for a view of the morning light and kochia coloring at the East Takahashi Kochia Garden.

The East Takahashi Kochia Garden is a spot that looks especially good when photographed in combination with the morning sunrise and blue sky. During the season of green kochia, the clear blue sky and soft morning light enhance the freshness of the kochia, making it possible to capture a fresh and refreshing shot. The morning air is fresher and there are fewer people, so you can take your time to take pictures in a quiet atmosphere. In autumn, kochia leaves turn bright red, and the morning light and sunrise make the red color stand out even more, creating a fantastic scene. The kochia fields, which change their appearance depending on the time of day and the season, are a great place to take pictures while enjoying the morning hours.

Key points for photography

The key to taking photographs is to take advantage of the morning forward light. The morning light in the Higashitakabashi Kochia Garden is more likely to hit the kochia from the front, allowing the colors and textures of the kochia to be expressed in a straightforward manner. The freshness of the kochia stands out during the green season, and the red color of the kochia with autumn leaves is not muddy, making it easy to capture a vivid image. Combining kochia with the morning glow or blue sky can create a fresh and magical atmosphere, and the ability to calmly search for a composition at a quiet time of day when few people are around is also a major attraction.
