The big tree of the ginkgo tree "Big Yellow" in Fukaura, Aomori is now in full bloom.

Ginkgo biloba, which is approximately 31 meters in height and has a trunk thickness of approximately 22 meters in the Kita-Kanagasawa district, is said to be over 1000 years old and was designated as a national natural monument in 2004. .. This is the 8th light-up, and this year it started on November 7.

In Fukaura Town, in order to make it more appealing as a nationally designated natural monument, it is named “Big Yellow” and is attracting tourists. Mr. Maguro Suzuki of the Fukaura Town Tourism Division said, "I was worried that the surrounding residents would be scolded because it was said to be a sacred tree at first, but I thank the local people for saying "I had a good show". I also received it."

Autumn leaves this year are said to be about a week later than usual. "It was late last year, but finally it is 70 to 80% colored. There are leaves that will be scattered in the future, so the cherry blossoms will remain in full bloom for about a week," says Suzuki.

This year's first effort was to install speakers around the trunk and cut down trees along the neighboring National Route 101. "Not only is the size of the big yellow seen from afar, but the area around the trunk is also very popular with spectators. The music box-like music is quietly played from the speaker, creating an atmosphere that surrounds the trunk." Mr.

Mr. Suzuki calls, "The temperature in Fukaura may be 0 degrees Celsius at night. We want you to wear winter clothes and enjoy the big yellow light up, which is the largest among the ginkgo trees in Japan." ..

Lighting time is from 16:30 to 20:30. Light up until December 1st.
