In the beginning of November, Gingko trees are very lovely with the gradation of green and yellow.

In the mid-November, you can enjoy the beauty of colours through the contrast of the clear autumn sky and yellow leaves.
Just like a painting.

When the best season is close to the end, fallen leaves form a natural carpet and turn everything yellow.

Pedestrian precinct on Sundays and Public Holidays

From 9am to 5pm on Sundays and public holidays, a part of the avenue of Gingko trees becomes a Pedestrian precinct. Therefore, there are more people than usual. You can see families and couples there.

By encountering this Nature and beauty, you almost forget that you are in the center of Tokyo. By just looking at this view, you fall in love with autumn. Meiji Jingu Gaien at this time of the year makes us feel that way.
