Ginkgo is heavily used as a street tree because of the beauty of yellow leaves along with the green season and its strong in pruning.

As for the origin of the Japanese name, the common theory is that the shape of the leaves is regarded as a duck's foot: It is said to be an accent of a duck leg (Iacao).

In large trees, conical protrusions hanging from branches called air roots may occur, and are called "milk".

A scene where you can experience the deepening autumn.

The green to yellow leaves of the ginkgo at the entrance of Hamacho Park play the three colors of red, yellow, and green with the blue sky in the background, along with the autumn leaves of the large tree maple buff behind.
