Kyoto - 银杏

During fall in Japan, one of the things you simply cannot miss, is this.

 银杏

Google told me it is called ginkgo biloba. It was close to sunset and the light made the leaves looked shiny gold.

 This was how the leaves looked like up close and without sunlight.

 Took us more than 10 times of trial-and-error to get this picture.

This was within walking distance from the Kyoto station, right next to 东本愿寺.
