Metasequoia Namiki
The Metasequoia Avenue in Makino Town, Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture, features approximately 500 metasequoias planted along a 2.4 km stretch, creating a beautiful highland landscape harmonized with the scenery of the Nosaka Mountain Range. The trees were planted in 1981 as part of the "Learning from the Soil of Makino" development project, and visitors can enjoy the beauty of each season. Particularly during the autumn foliage season, the "Metasequoia Avenue Autumn Festival" is held, attracting many tourists. In 1994, it was selected as one of the "New 100 Sceneries of Japanese Street Trees," making it a popular spot for photography. Early weekday mornings are especially quiet and pleasant.
