A complete guide to viewing ginkgo trees at Kyoto Iwato Ochiba Shrine.

🎏A complete guide to viewing ginkgo trees at Kyoto Iwato Ochiba Shrine🎏 🍁Kyoto Iwato Ochiba Shrine is definitely a treasure trove for viewing ginkgo trees! Today, we bring you a super detailed guide so you don't miss any of the beautiful scenery here😉. 📍Location: 10 Ono Shimo no Cho, Kita Ward, Kyoto. 💡Best viewing season: Mid-November to late November. During this period, the four giant ginkgo trees in the shrine, which are over 350 years old, about 30 meters high, and with trunks stretching up to 3 meters, have golden leaves that look like a golden ocean, which is breathtaking. 🕙Opening hours: The opening hours are 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily (the specific time may be adjusted according to the actual situation, so it is recommended to check the relevant official information or consult the local tourism agency before you go). 🌟Best viewing spots: - Shrine Torii: The giant ginkgo trees and the vermilion torii gate complement each other, and the golden ginkgo leaves cascade down like a waterfall, like a beautiful painting, making it a great place for photography enthusiasts. - Shrine courtyard: Stroll through the shrine courtyard, where the thick ginkgo leaves underfoot are like a golden carpet, and the golden leaves above your head make you feel like you are in a dream world. 🚌Transportation: - From Kyoto Station: Take the JR bus in front of Kyoto Station in the direction of "Shuzan" and get off at "Ono-go" after about an hour. Note that the JR bus stop to Iwato Ochiba Shrine is also the bus stop to the Takao area, a famous maple viewing spot in Kyoto. The bus to Takao and the bus to Shuzan go in the same direction, but the bus to Takao only goes to the area near Jingoji Temple, while the bus to Shuzan goes to Ono-go. - From Arashiyama: About 20 minutes by car. 💕Tips: - There may be more tourists during the ginkgo viewing season, so it is recommended to plan your trip in advance and allow enough time. - Bring your camera to capture the beautiful moments, but also be sure to protect the environment of the shrine. Come to Iwato Ochiba Shrine and enjoy this golden feast of autumn!🎉🎉🎉
