Enjoy the neat streets and golden ginkgo trees along Gyoko-dori Avenue
The ginkgo-lined Gyoko-dori Avenue, which connects Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, is a spot for strolling where you can feel autumn in a sense of openness that is hard to believe in the heart of the city. The ginkgo trees lining both sides of the avenue turn golden yellow, creating a beautiful contrast between the neat cityscape and the yellow leaves. Just walking along the street, you will have a wide field of view and naturally feel the deepening of the season. Combined with its easy accessibility, this area is recommended as a “fall scenery in the heart of the city” where you can casually drop by.
Key points for photography
The key to photographing this scene is to compose it in a way that takes advantage of the expanse of the street and its well-defined straight lines. If the front view is taken from the center of the street, the depth and scale of the ginkgo trees will be emphasized. The low morning and evening light softly illuminates the color of the foliage, and the forward light allows the viewer to appreciate the coloring, while the backlight allows the viewer to enjoy the silhouettes of the transparent foliage and the buildings. Adding small pedestrians adds an urban rhythm to the scene, creating an open autumn scene unique to **Gyoko-dori Avenue**.
