The rows of golden yellow lights glow at night—it feels so dreamy. Compared to the daytime, the vibe at night is completely different.
The ginkgo avenue attracts lots of visitors when the leaves are at their best, so it's better to go in the morning or on a weekday to avoid the crowds.
The most famous thing at Meiji Jingu Gaien is the stadium. I always bring my kids here to play. There are all kinds of sports facilities and even a children's park—it's a favorite for the little ones! 👍
I stopped by while I was in Harajuku, but the timing and season didn't work out, so I missed the beautiful ginkgo trees.
The autumn season here is beautiful. It's a perfect time to visit.
