Makino Metasequoia Tree-Lined Avenue

A 2.4km metasequoia tree-lined avenue located in Makino-cho, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture. The scenery of approximately 500 metasequoia trees standing in orderly rows is a spectacular spot that has been selected as one of the New 100 Best Street Tree Landscapes of Japan. It displays different expressions throughout the four seasons: fresh greenery in spring, deep green in summer, autumn foliage, and snow-covered beauty in winter. The golden tunnel during the autumn foliage season from late November to early December is particularly breathtaking. It's also an ideal route for driving and cycling.
