This photo was taken from the opposite side of the main photo, but in good light with the morning sun. The University of Tokyo's Hongo Campus is lined with gingko trees that turn a beautiful golden color in autumn, and the main street leading to the Yasuda Auditorium has a spectacular tunnel formed by gingko trees lining both sides. The ground is covered with fallen leaves, which shine like a golden carpet in the sunlight, and together with the historic red brick buildings and cultural assets, create a unique and dignified scene. Especially in the morning and at dusk, the soft light creates a fantastic atmosphere through the gingko leaves, and by using backlighting, beautiful photos with a sense of transparency can be taken. A quiet stroll through the historic campus allows visitors to enjoy the deepening of autumn while feeling the serene atmosphere unique to Todai, a place of learning. Because of its easy accessibility, it is one of the most popular autumn foliage spots in Tokyo, attracting many photography enthusiasts and tourists.
