[2025 Takashima Attraction] Travel Guide for Avenue of Metasequoia trees (Updated Oct)

Located in Takashima City in northern Shiga Prefecture, Metasequoia Avenue is a popular spot for viewing autumn leaves, and has been selected as one of Japan's New 100 Best Roadside Trees. While the area offers different views throughout the seasons, it's especially popular during the fall foliage season. You can drive through the approximately 2.4-kilometer Metasequoia Avenue, which features approximately 500 trees. There are side roads, so you can also enjoy the avenue on foot, allowing you to fit your schedule into your enjoyment. If you have the time, you can park your car at nearby Makino Pickland, so we recommend using that when visiting. Due to its popularity, parking can be time-consuming and the surrounding roads can be congested, so it's best to visit at a different time. There's also a cafe. Since it's outdoors, it's a great place to bring your pets!

#besttrip2023 #MetasequoiaLinedTree #ShigaPrefecture I've always wanted to visit the Metasequoia Lined Trees, so I finally arrived. As I drove along, the scenery suddenly changed and the Metasequoia Lined Trees appeared, dyed red. I was deeply moved by the spectacular view. This place has been featured on social media and many tourists from overseas have come here. Unfortunately, it was raining at the time, but the view was still beautiful. Next time, I'd like to come on a nice summer day.

#日本景点 #坎西景点 #紅葉 Metasequoia Namiki Avenue #Shiga Prefecture #Takashima City #マキノ #Metasequoia #Namiki Located in the suburbs of Kansai, it takes 1 hour from Kyoto Station to Makino Station (Makino Station) by JR and then transfer to the bus for about 6 minutes to arrive at "Makino Pic Land", where you can enjoy the view of Metasequoia Avenue. The straight streets and the Metasequoia trees on both sides of the road, whose autumn red leaves are at their best viewing time (photo taken by the author on December 4, 2023), are very spectacular. Metasequoia Avenue is about 2.5 kilometers long. Many people stay at the front end, but there are actually bus stops and coffee shops at both ends of the avenue. After completing the entire journey, I took the bus back from "Minamimakino" in the middle.
