The stunning rows of ginkgo trees along Hachioji's Koshu-kaido Road were planted between 1927 and 1929 as commemorative trees for the construction of the mausoleum of Emperor Taisho. In autumn, their beautiful yellow leaves provide the perfect setting for a festival. Local residents organize the Hachioji Ginkgo Festival, held while these autumn colors are vibrant. The festivities include a bazaar, tourism exhibit, Koshu-kaido Road parade, stage shows and orienteering. For the orienteering event, grab a tsuko tegata, a wooden block that served as a transit pass in Edo period (early modern period), and take a tour around 12 checkpoints. The festival is a chance to walk along the rows of golden ginkgo trees and witness the Hachioji residents' love for their area. The retro ambiance is a particularly charming.
