Only this fall! Autumn leaves and yellow leaf snaps in Chuo-ku


Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
In December, even in Chuo-ku, I began to feel the arrival of winter from the clothes and show windows of people coming to the city.
This time, before moving on to the topic of winter, I would like to deliver the autumn scenery in Chuo-ku.

In the fall of this year, some people may have enjoyed autumn leaves and yellow leaves around them, conscious of corona measures.
It is good to go out for the purpose of autumn leaves and yellow leaves, but the beautifully colored trees that you accidentally find on the street are also easy to remember.
We will take up the autumn leaves and yellow leaves as of November 3 and December 6, so I would be glad if you could rewind a little time and enjoy it as if you were walking together.♪

Let's first walk along St. Luke Street in early November.

These trees, which have been colored little by little, are lilywood.
Because the leaves are half-coated and the flowers are tulip-shaped, they are also called half-coated trees and tulip trees.
Autumn leaves and yellow leaves tend to be imagined only maple and ginkgo, so it was a new discovery that lilywood is also a tree that can be enjoyed in autumn.

Next, let's go to Hamacho Park in early November.
Here, the ginkgo season comes a little earlier in the city!
I was relieved to see a child running around on a yellow carpet.

As of early December, there are still many green ginkgo trees in the ward, which will delight our eyes for a while.
According to Chuo-ku's "Chuo-ku Street Tree", there are 701 ginkgo trees as street trees managed by Chuo-ku, the second largest after Suzukakeki and Sakura.
If you have such a lot of ginkgo trees, you may have the opportunity to see autumn-like scenery during walking, shopping, commuting or school.

And when you come to ginkgo, you must not forget!
Let's go to see the streets near Momiji Street in early November.

Apparently, it is still lush, and I don't feel this character of autumn leaves....
If you revisit in early December, expecting that it will be colored, only a few are turning red!
Does it depend on the environment of the place where it grows?... I'd like to see you in the future.

On the other hand, at Sakuragawa Rooftop Park, maples were almost at their best.
Even with the same tree, there is a difference in color, so it seems that you can enjoy it for a while.♪

But once you look up at the maple, you will see a nearby dead tree.
Let me foresee the arrival of full-fledged winter.

Even in the same Chuo-ku, the best time to see autumn leaves and yellow leaves varies depending on the location, and there are many trees that are colored besides maples and ginkgo.
Until now, I used to visit famous spots for maples and ginkgo, but this year I was able to enjoy it close to me.
If you devise how to shoot, you may be able to shoot one shot as if you were going to a famous place!
I think 2020 was a year when I was able to "rediscover" a lot of familiar charms that I usually overlook.
