Ogi-ga-so Park

Taste the autumn leaves in the quiet Japanese air at Ogi Gaisho Park

Photographing autumn foliage at Ogi Gaisho Park is particularly suited to those who want to take their time in composing their shots in the serene atmosphere. The maple trees in the park are more elegant in color than showy, and the red and orange colors overlap each other to create a tranquil Japanese landscape. The close proximity of the park to buildings and pathways allows for a wide range of expression, depending on your creativity, such as including leaves in the foreground or taking advantage of light shining through gaps in the trees. This is a recommended spot for those who want to enjoy autumn in peace and quiet, and can enjoy either letting the autumn leaves themselves be the main attraction or combining them with the surrounding scenery to create a narrative.

Key points for photography

The key to photographing this scene is to bring out the overlapping colors of the leaves and their subdued shadows by choosing a time of day when oblique light is available, while incorporating a large maple tree in the foreground and placing the building and parkway discreetly in the background.
