momiji_kaede (2)GRRS.jpg "Iroha maple autumn leaves" is one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information.

On December 4, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory announced that "the autumn leaves of Iroha maple were observed in Tokyo."

7 days later than normal, 9 days later than last year, and the slowest observation since 1993.

The autumn leaves of Iroha maple are the first day when most of the leaves turn red when looking at the standard Kimata body, like ginkgo.

By the way, the Japan Meteorological Agency uses the maple maple on the premises of the Japan Meteorological Agency in Otemachi as a standard tree in Tokyo.

Even in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, the rosewood, maple, and Yaezakura around the tide pond (Oizumi) are dyed bright red and are at their best.

Iroha maple is a representative of the so-called "momiji" of the maple family maple.

Japanese maple. It is also called Takao maple because of Takao, a famous spot for autumn leaves in Kyoto.

Of the approximately 6,000 trees in the park, I heard that there are 25 maple trees.

Iroha maple is a small, small, palm-shaped, delicate leaf shape that splits 5-7 in a palm shape on finely divided branches, and yellow-green-green-yellow-red color to red, from budding to early summer and autumn leaves seasons. The vividness of the color is attractive.

With the Ochiyaya of Nakajima and Ochiya of Matsu in the background, Iroha maple, which shines in the soft sunlight, creates the atmosphere of a daimyo garden unique to this season.
