Autumn Color @ Meijijingu Gaien: Nov. 23, 2010

I visited Maijijingu Gaien (outer garden) with my guest today to enjoy autumn color of gingko trees. The gingko trees are famous in Tokyo and they hold “Gingko Festival” in November.

I also visited the place last year. I choose the gingko street (with some other options) when I am asked the best places to enjoy Tokyo’s autumn color.

There are 146 gingko trees in 300-meter street.

The contrast of yellow leaves and blue sky is impressive.

The smell of gingko fruits was also impressive.

There were many open-air stalls in the festival site. The foods included Central Asian chicken food, Thai noodles, Chinese foods and many kinds of Japanese cooks.
