◆ The yellow weeping ginkgo from Tsukiji and Namishi Inari Shrine

[Sumida Fireworks] Nov. 25, 2014 18:00

Ginkgo from all over Tokyo is gradually changing color.
So when I took a walk, I went to see how the ginkgo, the sacred tree of Tsukiji's Namiwa Inari Shrine (on the evening of November 22, 2014).

The ginkgo at this shrine is a type called "weeping ginkgo", which is literally weeping ginkgo, but I think it is an unusual type.

 
 
I visited a shrine for the first time last year, and my heart was moved by the branches.
The photo below is a photo of my visit on the night of December 7, last year.

The way of coloring seems to be different every year, but I hope that this year will be colored like last year.

 
 
On November 22, I went to see this time, "Rooster Market" happened to be held on the precincts.

Tsukiji Market will be busy until the end of the year.
When you visit the market, be sure to pay attention to the ginkgo at Namishi Inari Shrine.
