At the end of fall each year, the leaves on the ginkgo trees that line the Ichō Namiki avenue of Meiji Jingū Shrine‘s outer gardens turn a brilliant yellow, and there will be illuminations in the evening.
Why not also grab tickets to the Tokyo Christmas Market nearby?
Schedule 2024
The leaves will be lit up from November 23 to December 1 from around 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. every day.
