One of the most iconic sights in October is the ginkgo trees turning bright yellow. Walking along streets lined with these radiant trees, you’ll see leaves gently drifting to the ground, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. Popular spots include Meiji Jingu Gaien and Icho Namiki Avenue, where the golden ginkgo leaves form a natural carpet, perfect for photography or leisurely strolls.
Alongside ginkgo, momiji (Japanese maple) trees display a stunning mix of red and yellow leaves, adding depth and warmth to Tokyo’s autumn palette. Parks such as Shinjuku Gyoen, Rikugien Garden, and Ueno Park are ideal locations to immerse yourself in this seasonal beauty. The combination of golden ginkgo and red-yellow momiji creates a uniquely captivating Tokyo autumn scene.
