Tourist attraction • F2PP+XV, Makinocho Makino, Takashima, Shiga 520-1836, Japan
Located in Makino-cho, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, the Metasequoia tree-lined road is a secretly popular tourist spot among nature lovers and photography enthusiasts. This road stretches for about 2.4 km, with over 500 Metasequoia trees neatly lined up, welcoming visitors with a breathtaking view.
The charm of the Metasequoia tree-lined road lies in its changing appearance with each season. In spring, fresh leaves sprout, forming a tunnel of green in summer. In autumn, the trees are adorned with colorful leaves, and in winter, they present a snowy appearance. Especially in early May when the rice fields are filled with water, the avenue reflects on the water surface creating a dreamy landscape.
According to many visitors, the best time for photography is in the morning. The avenue lit by the morning sun creates more vivid colors and shadows. Moreover, visits during the autumn foliage season are also very popular, and the avenue dyed in red and yellow is stunningly beautiful.
Access to the Metasequoia tree-lined road is relatively easy, but parking may be insufficient during busy periods. If using temporary parking lots, ensure to wear comfortable shoes and appropriate clothing, as the distance to the avenue can be long. Also, don’t forget to take measures against the cold as the weather can get chilly.
The Metasequoia tree-lined road is like a natural piece of art. This place, where you can enjoy the beauty of all four seasons, offers a special space that allows you to forget your busy daily life. With a camera in hand, take a slow walk along the avenue and spend some time healing your heart.
