Sashirosanroku Park|Autumn with overlapping maple and ginkgo trees

Walking in autumn when maple trees and ginkgo trees overlap in Sabaku Sannroku Park

The Sabaku Sanroku Park (Sabaku Sanroku Park) is a serene spot for those who wish to take their time and savor the colors of autumn. Walking through the park, you will be enveloped in gentle colors from your feet to your head, with bright red maple trees and golden ginkgo trees spreading out in layers. In the morning and evening, when the light is soft, the translucence and shadows of the leaves stand out even more, adding depth and warmth to your photos as well as a sense of quiet atmosphere. This is a unique autumn foliage scene in **Sahaku Sanroku Park**, where you can feel the changing of the seasons close at hand.

Key points for photography

The key to taking photographs is to take advantage of the low morning and evening light to carefully capture the overlapping colors of the maple and ginkgo trees. In forward light, the colors of the leaves are more easily expressed, while in backlight, the translucent leaves glow softly, creating a warm expression. Create depth by considering the curves of the parkway and the spacing between the trees to emphasize the layers of color. Adding fallen leaves in the foreground will enhance the sense of the season and convey a quiet atmosphere. The key to enjoying photography at Sabaku Sannroku Park is to walk slowly and look for ways to let the light in.
