Hello everyone, I’m President Yoshida, the moderator of “Let’s Go Shopping! Japan”. Hello everyone, I’m Fumi from “Let’s Go Shopping! Japan”. I’m Yui and I’m Minmin. It’s quite rare for the four of us to appear together, that’s right, it’s an annual tradition for our channel. We have a big gathering every year. Behind us is a landmark representing Tokyo, this is Tokyo Station. So it’s true that there are foreigners everywhere here, because this is the first stop for tourists coming to Tokyo. Today, we’ll start from this golden Ginkgo Street and take you to find the best ginkgo tree spots in Tokyo. And this time we’re very ambitious. In addition to collecting the classic spots that everyone loves, we’ll also introduce some places from the perspective of living in Tokyo that you might not be familiar with. We were really looking forward to seeing these familiar hidden gems! When planning our trip, we discovered that all the attractions we were going to were accessible by Tokyo Metro and Toei Subway , making transportation very convenient. If you’d like to use our itinerary as a reference, you can also purchase Metro-related tickets. Okay, without further ado, let’s go! Our first stop was Hibiya Park, which is only one stop away from Tokyo Station. Because of its convenient transportation and relatively few tourists , it’s been quite popular on social media lately. Yui-san, do you know about “Kikake Ginkgo”? Is this the ginkgo tree behind us? Hibiya Park has a history of over 100 years, so during an urban redevelopment project, this “Kumakake Ginkgo” was almost cut down . However, a park designer named Seiroku Honda said, “I’ll bet my head on it!” Because of him , we can now see this magnificent ginkgo tree. It’s like saying, “If you’re going to cut it down, cut off my head first!” Wow, that’s truly admirable. Actually, the tree we see behind us isn’t the “Kumakake Ginkgo” itself. Its real location is in front of the Matsumoto-ro cafe; it ‘s just that we’re here at this time… It’s so well-nourished that its leaves have all fallen, so we’ll start here. If you have the chance, you must come and see that 400-year-old tree. This is my personal favorite spot in Hibiya Park, called [name omitted], because you can see both autumn leaves and ginkgo trees here , enjoying the beautiful autumn scenery of Japan at the same time. This park was built in 1903, so couples in the Taisho era would often come here for dates after watching movies in Ginza. President, have you ever had a date here? Me? This is a secret that can’t be told. Today we’ve come to this attraction, which is the East [location omitted]. Jingu Gaien-mae, widely recognized as the most beautiful ginkgo spot in Kyoto , is characterized by two rows of ginkgo trees, each pruned into a charmingly cute shape with rounded bottoms and pointed tops. From afar, the blue sky against the golden ginkgo leaves is breathtakingly beautiful . However, due to its popularity , it attracts many tourists. It’s recommended to visit between 8 and 9 am, as this time is less crowded and the morning sunlight creates a stunning contrast. Transportation is a bit inconvenient , requiring transfers at major stations. Here are a few options: From Shibuya Station, take the Metro Ginza Line to Gaien-mae Station ; or take the Metro Hanzomon Line to Aoyama-ichi-chome. Alternatively, from the other direction, take the JR Chuo Line or Sobu Line to Koryu-cho Station, from the opposite side. While some ginkgo leaves have already fallen, which is a bit of a shame , I’m sure there are still plenty of angles to capture stunning photos. Let ‘s get started! Most people usually visit this spot via… Usually, people take photos from the outside, along Aoyama-dori, looking inwards. But if you’re a little more diligent and walk a bit further to the innermost Jingu Gaien (outer garden), the photos taken from there are also very beautiful. There are also fewer crowds there , so I highly recommend walking to the very back before starting your shots. Our current stop is Shiba Park next to Tokyo Tower. As you can see, it’s incredibly beautiful , and it’s the best time to visit . If you want to take stunning photos of the ginkgo trees against the backdrop of Tokyo Tower, I suggest taking the Oedo Line of the Tokyo Metro to Akabanebashi Station. There’s a small entrance diagonally opposite Akabanebashi that leads into Shiba Park , where you’ll see incredibly beautiful scenery. What’s that behind there? It looks like a real-life Kikawa! I think this place is really amazing because you can get incredibly close to these ginkgo trees and feel the traces of history. The ginkgo trees in Shiba Park are also known as the “post-war ginkgo” because they survived the Tokyo air raids. So, I think you can really feel the vitality of these ginkgo trees up close; it’s truly moving. If you’re visiting Shiba Park, I highly recommend taking a photo here. Go to the nearby Masakatsu-ji Temple. You can also see the golden leaves, the iron pagoda , and beautiful ancient temple architecture there. I highly recommend it! Look how pretty the senior student is ! Her leaves are a deep, blood-red color, and it’s right opposite Masakatsu-ji. So after seeing the ginkgo leaves at Masakatsu-ji, you can come here to see the autumn leaves too. So beautiful! Yui is going crazy! So beautiful! Next, we’ve arrived at a very popular attraction: the University of Tokyo. Did you know that the University of Tokyo’s emblem is a ginkgo tree ? This shows the importance of the ginkgo to the university. Taking photos here is actually a great idea! The location is appealing because the University of Tokyo is a very historic university , so the buildings have a classic, old-fashioned feel, giving the photos a scholarly atmosphere . There are roughly two areas on campus where you can admire the ginkgo trees : the Hongo Campus in the south and the Yayoi Campus in the north. If you’re arriving by subway, you have two options : the Hongo 3-chome stop on the Marunouchi Line or the Todai-mae stop on the Namboku Line. Both are within a 5-minute walk from the station, so it’s quite convenient. I heard that the ginkgo trees at the University of Tokyo will undergo some changes in 2025. So what exactly has changed? Let’s take a look. The only change this year is that the classic ginkgo avenue leading from the main gate has been pruned, so it’s not as lush or spectacular as in previous years; it looks a bit sparse , which is a shame. However, there’s a classic photo spot there, and I think there’s still hope. The ginkgo tree behind me is the “Rice Ball Ginkgo” in front of the Engineering College square. It’s actually a century-old tree , so it looks very large . Fortunately, it wasn’t pruned this year , so it’s still very beautiful. If you come here, you can buy coffee at the Starbucks behind it and relax. Enjoying a leisurely coffee under this ginkgo tree and taking these beautiful photos, we’re now heading to the Yayoi Campus in the north . Okay, here we are now at the Yayoi Campus. We were quite crowded at the Hongo Campus earlier, but this place is a bit quieter. There’s a place here called the Yayoi Auditorium , and it’s in front of a row of ginkgo trees. The Yayoi Auditorium itself is a glass curtain wall building, so it reflects the ginkgo leaves , giving you the feeling of ginkgo trees on both sides. I think it looks very beautiful in photos. The ginkgo trees here at the Yayoi Campus are also very dense. You can try taking photos here; it’s very beautiful! Wow, so beautiful ! We arrived at Asakusabashi Station around noon. Is this junior hungry? Very hungry! Want to eat something that will make you happy? Then follow the senior! We just exited the station and saw many office workers coming and going. The place behind me is called Tonkatsu Fujiyoshi. It’s actually a great local restaurant. It has a 4.3 rating on Google and a 3.46 on Tabelog —wow, very high! They’re famous for their tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet) and all sorts of fried food. We just looked at their fried oysters , which also seem very suitable, but today we’ll start with their signature dish , so we ate this. Senior , what do you think of pork tenderloin (hire) and pork loin (loose) ? I think it’s really professional because he clearly distinguishes between pork loin (loose) and pork tenderloin (hire). I personally ate pork loin (loose) , which has more fat and a bit of elasticity , making it very crunchy and delicious . The pork tenderloin (hire) I ordered was very tender; it was like a chemical reaction in my mouth. Did you feel happy after eating it? Yes, I felt so happy! Its location is actually… It’s located right next to Asakusabashi Station, so if you’re in the area, you can check it out. Next, we’ll continue our itinerary and head to Ginkgo-oka Hachiman Shrine . We’re currently at Ginkgo-oka Hachiman Shrine , located near Asakusabashi Station. Since the name includes “ginkgo,” it means the ginkgo trees here are very famous . It’s said that a warlord planted a ginkgo tree in the ground after passing through the area, and that’s how this beautiful ginkgo tree grew. They’re also very famous for their omamori (amulet) and goshuin (temple stamp). We’ll check them out later. If you’re visiting a shrine in Tokyo… If you’re visiting a shrine or other place to admire ginkgo trees, remember to pay your respects first ; it’s a sign of respect for Japanese culture . We also found a maple tree at the intersection. The leaves are so yellow and orange! Japanese maple leaves are truly beautiful, like a palette constantly changing colors. Yes, they have green, yellow, orange, and red; sometimes they even look pink—it’s amazing and beautiful. Our next destination is Sarue Onshi Park , located in Koto Ward, Tokyo. It’s closest to Sumiyoshi Station, making it very convenient to get to, especially since it’s very close to the popular Tokyo Skytree. So, you can take photos of the Skytree and ginkgo trees together from inside the park. The photos are amazing! Another advantage is that it’s a very large area , mostly inhabited by locals , making it a hidden gem. I think it might be even easier to take photos than major tourist attractions. There’s a section in Sarue Onshi Park with a lot of bald cypress trees. Don’t they look a bit different from the ones in Taiwan ? Really! Their color is so orange-red! The ones in Taiwan are usually more dark brown. Maybe because Japan has more distinct seasons , the plants are more colorful. Autumn in Japan is so beautiful! Yes, so pretty! And the afternoon sun is perfect for a nap. Okay, time to go home ! Are you off work yet? Wow, it’s so beautiful! This time of year is perfect for the golden carpet of leaves —meaning they’ve all fallen to the ground. Even though the leaves have fallen , this golden carpet is still very pretty. Next, we’ll take the subway to Akasaka Hikawa Shrine near Tameike-Sanno Station. The tree behind me is actually a designated natural feature of Minato Ward ; it’s a 400-year-old ginkgo tree. What’s amazing about Akasaka Hikawa Shrine is that it has preserved some traditional Edo-era shrine architecture , making it very antique and charming. It’s famous for selling ginkgo amulets and ginkgo goshuin (stamps). We’ll go check them out later. Yui Unfortunately, when we arrived today, it was already a bit over-nourished; yes, all the leaves had fallen. But looking at how huge its trunk is , you can imagine how magnificent it must be during its peak bloom. Although this sacred tree has lost some leaves , don’t worry, don’t be discouraged. The Inari Shrine below it is also incredibly beautiful and is currently in full bloom. Okay, so we just bought this ginkgo amulet . Actually, the ginkgo okushin (stamp) is also very beautiful. This amulet actually says that the 400-year-old ginkgo tree we just saw has been protecting the residents of this area since before the shrine was established. So everyone who comes here should definitely buy this cute ginkgo leaf amulet to pray for peace. Do you see this huge ginkgo tree behind us ? We’ve arrived at a very niche ginkgo viewing spot near Ikebukuro Station. It’s located within the grounds of the Kishimojin Shrine. Actually, we just took the subway to Higashi-Ikebukuro Station and walked here for about 10 minutes. If you want to walk along its golden Omotesando (temple path), you can also take the subway to the Zoshi-gaya station. Then, walking over, it’s very close to the main attraction. The biggest highlight is this 600-year-old ginkgo tree , also known as the giant ginkgo. It’s said that in the past, people would hug a ginkgo tree to pray for safe childbirth or to give birth, so this place is filled with a peaceful atmosphere. Luckily, we were able to come here during its peak viewing season , and we just saw a super beautiful ginkgo snowfall. If you come here to worship, you can also take a closer look at the plaque in front of the main hall. The character for “demon” in “Demon Mother Goddess” is actually missing a stroke, which means that the demon’s horn has been removed. The story behind this is that the main deity here used to be a demon who would snatch human children, but after being reformed, she is no longer a demon and has become a deity who protects the health and safety of children and prays for safe childbirth. So it’s very meaningful. I bought my spoils! It ‘s so hard and crunchy! Hey, it tastes a lot like the sugar syrup from the squid game. Is it made with granulated sugar? Yes, yes, it has a bit of a caramel flavor . And in this… Under the large ginkgo tree, there’s a very retro shop called Kamikawaguchi-ya, run by an elderly woman. It’s like a traditional Japanese grocery store run by a grandmother. They sell vintage candies and cookies, and the grandmother is very friendly. You can buy some snacks while you’re visiting the shrine . It says it was founded in 1781 , so it has a long history and has been here with the ginkgo tree for many years . How romantic! We just left the Kishimo Shrine and are heading back to Zoshigaya Station. We’ll pass this shop, Akaya . It’s a long-established traditional Japanese confectionery shop. You can tell from the exterior that they’re very professional , and it seems to be a favorite among locals. The sign says it was founded in Taisho 13 (1924). Over a century old , it must be very impressive ! They also offer chestnut sweets like this in the autumn. This is chestnut yokan (sweet bean jelly), and mine is chestnut dorayaki. Okay , let’s try some! I can’t wait to dig in! This chestnut is amazing! It’s so creamy and has a super autumnal flavor . There’s a whole chestnut inside! I originally thought the dorayaki would have a red bean paste filling with a whole chestnut inside, but it turns out even the filling is chestnut! This yokan is different from traditional yokan; it ‘s not jelly-like. It’s all creamy red bean paste with creamy chestnut filling —truly high-quality ingredients! I can’t stop eating it! So, if you ever come to the Kishimojin-do area , don’t miss this shop! Okay, let’s eat! President, we’re drinking some delicious YOYOYO beverage now . Shall I tell you what kind of shop this is? YOYOYO is a takeout shop we opened last year opposite Yoyogi Station. YOYOYO uses very natural and healthy ingredients . Yes, it’s a shame they don’t sell Japanese sake. President, that won’t do ! President, you need to add new items quickly ! We ordered Japanese sake and went to a small restaurant. Each restaurant has its own specialty. The leaves were reflected in our glasses. Our last stop was Yoyogi Park. It’s actually very close to Meiji Shrine , and there are 200 ginkgo trees within the park , making it incredibly spectacular. Did you see that golden carpet all around? It’s all ginkgo trees! It’s so beautiful, a whole expanse of gold! I really wanted to lie down and roll around on the ground, but unfortunately, it smelled a bit like ginkgo. Luckily, my nose was severely congested, so I just… *sniff*… This is our last stop. Actually, many of the attractions we visited can be reached by the Tokyo Metro. So, if you find that your itinerary includes places accessible by the Metro , I highly recommend buying a one-day Metro pass. This time, I introduced many must-see ginkgo spots in Tokyo. Which one is your favorite? If you’ve been there or plan to go next year, please leave a comment below. OK, if you liked this video, please like, subscribe, and turn on notifications .
