It is mid-November now and autumn deepens rapidly in Tokyo. The minimum temperature dropped to 5 degrees today.
The leaves of some trees are turning yellow and red, adding a touch of color to the city.
The ginkgo trees on Miyuki-dori Street in front of Tokyo Station are at their peak of yellowing. The contrast between the rows of ginkgo trees and the retro-style Tokyo Station and skyscrapers behind them is striking. Many foreign tourists were taking photos. (See also the top photo)
The plaza in front of Tokyo Station was crowded with people waiting for appointments and tourists. They looked to be admiring the autumn scenery. (See also the 3rd photo)
Ginkgo trees stand along the inner moat of the Imperial Palace, casting their shadows on the water.
The ginkgo trees in the Kasumigaseki government district, south of the Palace, have also turned yellow. (See the 2nd photo)
The ground in Hibiya Park was covered with fallen leaves. The leaves have turned yellow and red.
Japan has experienced a historic hot summer this year. Tokyo’s temperatures went up nearly 30 degrees even in October. Autumn has arrived later than in the past, and weather forecasts predict it will be a short one.
