Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginkgo Tree-Lined Avenue

Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginkgo Tree-Lined Avenue

Enjoy the openness of the yellow leaves in a straight line at Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginko Namiki (a row of ginkgo trees)

The autumn foliage of the ginkgo-lined avenue in the outer garden of Meiji Jingu Shrine offers an attractive view of the open space with its straight rows of golden ginkgo trees. The trees lined up in neat rows on either side change color all at once, and in combination with the clear blue sky, create an impressive autumn scene. Just walking along the path is a pleasant way to experience the season, making it one of the most popular spots in Tokyo for strolling and taking pictures of the yellow leaves.

Key points for photography

The key to shooting this image is to stand in the center of the tree-lined avenue and shoot from a position that emphasizes depth, and to enhance the contrast between the golden color of the ginkgo trees and the blue sky by using a low angle and adding more sky.
