A centuries-old giant ginkgo at Hōshōin temple — spectacular in late-November to early-December when its canopy turns luminous gold. Photograph from the temple grounds to capture the tree against traditional architecture and low sun. Accessible by local roads; small parking nearby. Respect temple rules and quiet atmosphere.
