Daimonji Temple

When you think of autumn events, leaf peeping comes to mind. Spotting colorful leaves while out and about is lovely, but why not take the time to visit a scenic spot with a spectacular view? The best time to see autumn leaves varies by region, but it’s generally from late October through early December. The most striking displays usually appear around mid-November.

Manabi no Mori Promenade
10-4 Nakahibaricho, Kakamigahara City, Gifu Prefecture
Parking: 153 spaces (free for up to 3 hours)
A tree-lined path of ginkgo and metasequoia stretches for about 300 meters. In autumn, the ginkgo row turns yellow, offering beautiful fall foliage. From mid-December to early February, about 200,000 LED bulbs light up in an illumination display.
These are grandfathers and grandmothers collecting ginkgo nuts.
You may pick up ginkgo nuts and take them home (River Park Division, which manages Manabi no Mori at Kakamigahara City Hall).
There’s no problem if individuals take them home for personal use—commercial use is not allowed.
However, as for taste and quality, well… it’s hard to say— they might not be very tasty.
At this time of year, many ginkgo nuts fall onto the sidewalks,
and stepping on them causes a strong unpleasant smell.
So they said they actually appreciate people picking them up—
that was the general nuance of what they mentioned.
