Looking at the website of Chuo-ku, there are 6,800 street trees managed by the ward, of which the largest number is Suzukakenoki ().

Next is the willow, which is the tree of Chuo-ku, and the third is the ginkgo.

On Showa-dori, the ginkgo trees are planted on both sides, but they are now yellow.

I would prefer, but I like ginkgo, which still has some green leaves and yellow leaves, like these pictures taken on December 8th.

Ginkgo is resistant to fire, and there are records that have been planted many in fire protection areas during the Edo period, so consideration is given to the fact that it is planted as street trees on Showa-dori, which was created by the reconstruction project after the Great Kanto Earthquake?

By the way, cherry blossoms are the fourth most common street trees in Chuo-ku.
