国神の大イチョウ
A monumental ginkgo (Kunikami no Ōichō) famed for its autumn gold and sculptural trunk — shoot sweeping wide shots to capture its full canopy, close textures of bark and fan-shaped leaves, and environmental portraits with the tree as scale. Best in late November for peak yellow; sunrise or blue hour offers soft side light and fewer visitors. Small shrine setting; approach respectfully. Accessible by car from Minano with limited roadside parking — expect narrow paths and some steps. No entry fee;
