Hippara Pass – Giant Ginkgo Tree Illumination – 2026

A limited-time Autumn Night Spectacle

Overview

A large ginkgo tree, over 50 years old, stands near the Central Meridian Tower at Hikkara Pass in Amino, Kyotango. On autumn nights, its golden leaves are illuminated, creating a fantastical scene.

This giant ginkgo tree is located along the Kyoto Tango Railway tracks, making it a popular spot among local photographers who strive to capture the moment when the train’s lights line up with the illuminated ginkgo tree.

You can also watch out for the tree while riding the train on the route between Amino Station and Yuhigaura Kitsu Onsen Station!
