About This Event / イベントについて
The Meiji Jingu Gaien Ginkgo Avenue is a 300-meter avenue lined with 146 ginkgo trees, running from Aoyama-dori toward the Meiji Memorial Picture Gallery. In late November, the trees turn a brilliant golden yellow, making it one of Tokyo's most iconic autumn foliage spots.
An evening light-up typically runs in late November, illuminating the golden canopy after dark. The avenue is a short walk from Shinanomachi or Aoyama-itchome stations, and about 15 minutes from Shibuya.

Peak color is typically Nov 20 – Dec 5; check koyo forecasts before visiting.
The evening light-up (16:30–19:30) offers a different perspective — bring a camera.
