[I want to go this fall] Sightseeing strategy ‼️ To the superb view of shining ginkgo appearing in the mountain village of Kyoto ⛩️ 🍁✨
[Overview]
Iwato Ochiba-jinja Shrine, located in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, is a small shrine that has been worshiped as the god of the village s guardian deity since ancient times.
As the name suggests, it is related to "Ochiba," and especially during the autumn leaves, the huge ginkgo trees in the precincts turn golden and attract visitors 😌.
The sight that the whole precinct is spread like a yellow carpet with scattered ginkgo leaves is breathtaking 🎨.
Because it is located in a mountain village a little far from Kyoto city, you can enjoy autumn leaves in a quiet and calm atmosphere 🍃.
[Recommended points]
Golden Carpet and Great Ginkgo View: The leaves of the 300-year-old ginkgo tree are scattered and piled up, and the whole precinct becomes a shining yellow carpet 🤩.
When you stand under a large ginkgo tree, you will be overwhelmed by its power and beauty ✨.
Photogenic place where photography lovers gather: The contrast between the scattered ginkgo leaves and the torii gate of the shrine and the shrine building is very photogenic 📸.
Ginkgo leaves are especially beautiful on sunny days ☀️.
* Quiet appearance of mountain village: Located in a mountain village away from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto city center, you can appreciate autumn leaves in a quiet and calm atmosphere.
Recommended for those who want to feel the beauty of autumn in Japan 🙏.
Pay attention here!
If you visit Iwato Ochiba-jinja Shrine, please pay attention to * * "Watering time" * * 🧐
The autumn leaves of this shrine are beautiful even when they are attached to trees, but the biggest attraction is the "golden carpet" * * that dances in the wind and falls to the ground.
If you visit at the end of the best season, when the ginkgo trees are completely scattered, you can meet a fantastic sight with the whole precinct covered with a yellow carpet 💡.
Also, the ginkgo tree that you can see beyond the torii gate is a great spot to take 👀.
Unlike red and orange maple trees, the scenery dyed in pure yellow is very impressive.
