A world overwhelmingly painted in vibrant yellow.

Last update :

A top spot for ginkgo autumn foliage in Fukuoka Prefecture. The vast grounds, originally a grape vineyard, now host over 100 ginkgo trees adorned in a glossy yellow. During the fall, it buzzes with many tourists. As the season progresses, the fallen leaves create a golden carpet, enhancing the beauty of the lined ginkgo trees. The vast expanse filled with golden hues is strikingly beautiful. The ginkgo trees aren't too tall, so even little children can enjoy the beautifully colored leaves up close.

Starting in 2022, a viewing period was established to preserve the ginkgo trees. For 2023, the viewing period is set from November 5th (Wed) to 26th (Sun). This place is privately owned and is opened to the public out of the owner's goodwill, hence entry outside the viewing period is prohibited. Visitors are urged to be considerate of the local residents and observe proper etiquette.

The best viewing is typically from mid to late November. The Hirokawa Tourism Association's official website frequently updates foliage information, so make sure to check before heading out.
