From October 19th to the end of November

The Giant Gingko Tree between Yuhigaura and Amino

Will Have Its Autumn Illumination Switched On

Near the 135° Meridian monument along Hippara Pass (National Road 178) the giant gingko tree will be lit up to highlight the beautiful shade of golden yellow it changes to in the autumn. The lights are switched on between 5:00pm and 10:30pm. The last day of the illumination will vary depending on how quickly the leaves fall.

This spot is along the Kyoto-Tango Tetsudo Railway line making it a hot spot for trainspotters trying to get the perfect picture of passing trains.

On November 10th (Sun) there will be a walk from Tachibana Assembly Hall to the tree meeting at 11:00am and departing at 11:30am. The walk is about 3km one way along the rice fields. The walk is open to all ages so why not tag along!
