About Taiyuan Ginkgo Forest
Drunk in the vibrant yellow world.
Details
One of the top spots in Fukuoka Prefecture for viewing ginkgo trees. On this vast land that was originally a vineyard, over a hundred bright yellow ginkgo trees stand tall, attracting numerous tourists during the autumn foliage season. As late autumn arrives, the fallen leaves create a golden carpet on the ground, beautifully complementing the ginkgo trees lining the sides, providing a visual feast. The golden world fills the entire view, breathtakingly beautiful. Due to the relatively low height of the ginkgo trees, young children can also experience the vivid charm of the bright yellow leaves up close.
Since 2022, a viewing period has been established to maintain the health of the ginkgo trees. This area is private land, and it is open for visits out of the goodwill of the landowner; entry is not allowed outside the designated viewing period. To respect the quality of life of nearby residents, please adhere to proper etiquette during your visit. *The viewing period for 2023 is from November 5 to 26.
The annual viewing period is from mid to late November. The official website of the Hirokawa Tourism Association will update information on the autumn foliage regularly, so it is recommended to check the official website before visiting.
