My most favourite tree is maidenhair tree, that have a lovely Japanese name: ICHO. The first time I have known about this tree is when I read the chapter about Dr Agasa’s love story (Detective Conan manga). I was a child and wonder what colous Icho is. Icho is one of the symbol of autumn in Japan, but the best time to see it is during December. Different with other red leave trees in Japan, Icho needs quite long time to receive sunshine and change its colour. So when other red leave trees become bare, its the most gorgeous time for Icho. To see this unique tree, most of visitors go to Icho Namiki Avenue. japan-talk/jt/new/icho-namiki-avenue but because Icho is common tree in Japan, you can find it at unexpected place: shrine, park, school, station, lake…For example, I found this lovely tree in Shinjuku Central Park. So if you come to Japan in December and wonder what you can enjoy here, fill the first line of your list by ” Seeing Icho”. Have an unique time in Japan! kabatabodaka/2014/12/08/i-love-icho-because-of-its-gorgeous-colour/
