[Metasequoia] The contrast between the 1,500 tree-lined road and the waterfront

Mizumoto Park is home to 1,500 metasequoia trees, which create a beautiful combination with the Mizumoto Bridge.

Metasequoia is a deciduous tree of the Metasequoia genus in the Cupressaceae family. It was discovered as a fossil and was thought to be extinct, but a natural habitat was discovered in China in 1946. It has been found to have been alive since the Mesozoic era, and is also called a "living fossil."

[Maple tree] The leaves turn vibrant colors around October.

The parking lot lined with maple trees is a secretly popular spot in Mizumoto Park.

The maple tree is a deciduous tree of the Lymantaceae family native to central and southern North America and Central America, and was introduced to Japan in the Taisho and early Showa periods. In Japan, it is planted in parks and along roads.

They change color earlier than maples, starting around October, and you can enjoy the gradations of green, orange, red, and purple in the autumn leaves.
