Spacious Showa Kinen Park on the outskirts of Tokyo was inundated with visitors over the weekend seeking to marvel at the changing autumnal hues of dozens of ginkgo trees.
The leaves of about 100 ginkgo trees planted on a 300-meter stretch glistened a golden yellow with the setting sun on Nov. 20.
Visitors strolling in the state-supported park straddling Akishima and Tachikawa cities maintained social distancing protocols as a precaution against becoming infected with the novel coronavirus.
