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.
