Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginkgo Avenue (November 19th 2025)

Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginkgo Avenue (外苑いちょう並木) is a street near Akasaka lined with ginkgo trees that were planted over a century ago. The leaves turn bright yellow in autumn, and the whole scene turns yellow when the sun hits the tree leaves in the afternoon. It’s a popular spot for walking around and taking photos. Worth a visit, even though lately it tends to get a bit crowded with tourists.

I stopped by on my way back home after spending the morning in meetings at the office and was able to take these quick photos.
