大銀杏 (the great ginkgo) in central Chichibu is a single monumental ginkgo tree that turns vivid gold in late November. Photograph intimate leaf textures, the tree’s full silhouette against shrine buildings or mountains, and the carpet of fallen leaves. Best visited at sunrise or early morning in peak autumn to avoid crowds and capture warm side/back light. Easy to reach on foot from Chichibu station; limited roadside parking nearby. Respect local customs — stay on paths and avoid climbing or tram
