〇 Maybe your luck will increase! Three Shinto shrines with golden ginkgo shining
Hello. I'm a correspondent RIEdel who loves to congratulate and thankful things.
Today, when autumn deepens, the beauty of the trees that are changing their clothes toward winter is eye-catching. Among them, it is said that ginkgo leads to gold luck from its golden color, so I also visit only shrines with ginkgo at this time (laughs).
Here are three of the shrines in Chuo-ku, where the beautiful golden ginkgo is about to be in full bloom, especially those recommended by RIEdel.
Breathing in the golden color of the valleys of buildings - Sanno resting place of portable shrines Nihonbashi Hie-jinja Shrine

When the color of ginkgo is talked about, the first thing that comes to my mind is the ginkgo from Sanno resting place of portable shrines (Nihonbashi Hie-jinja Shrine). A few years ago, I was strolling around the Kabuto-cho area. A little before the Kayabacho intersection, which goes south on Heisei-dori from the Tokyo Stock Exchange and hits Eitai-dori St. When I looked at my left hand casually, I found a ginkgo that emits golden light between buildings. It's divine, and I couldn't help but put my hands together on the spot.
This time, as of November 22, when I bothered, the ginkgo was still lush, but by the time of December it will show a stunning golden color.

The next shrine with the recommended ginkgo is Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine on Tsukuda Island.
This ginkgo is impressive to stand quickly toward the blue sky that spreads out in a residential area. The appearance of shining golden in the light of the autumn afternoon is a word of "richness".
Again, on the day I bothered, it was still lush overall, but some of the parts with good sunlight began to turn yellow.

The last shrine with ginkgo is Tsukijinami Shrine.
This is a little rare "weeping ginkgo" in sacred tree. When this weeping ginkgo turns color, it looks like a golden rice ear that has grown. As of November 22, the ginkgo on the right hand side of the torii gate (south side) began to turn a little yellow.
The enshrined deity of Tsukijihaku Shrine is Ukanomitamanomikoto. It is a god that is often worshiped by the god of prosperity of business, Inari-san. In addition, since the weeping ginkgo is sacred tree, it is an autumn worship spot that cannot be removed from RIEdel, which has no choice but to improve luck and business luck.♪
※According to the official website of Haji Shrine, weeping ginkgo is the sacred tree of "Prayer for Longevity".
