The ginkgo tree-lined avenue stretches for approximately 300 meters.
Along this avenue, 146 ginkgo trees are planted at intervals of about 10 meters, creating a unique landscape where you feel as if you're walking through a tunnel of yellow in the autumn.
This landscaping was designed by Dr. Yoshinobu Orishita, considered a master of modern Japanese landscape architecture.
The trees were planted based on perspective, carefully calculating the height of the trees and the gentle slope of the path leading towards the art museum.
While beautiful in early autumn, it's also a refreshing and pleasant place during the season of fresh green leaves (April-May).

イチョウ並木の距離は約 300m。
その間には 146本のイチョウが約10m間隔で植えられ、秋には黄色に染まったトンネルの中を歩いていくような、独特の景観をつくり出しています。
この造園を手がけたのは、日本の近代造園の師と呼ばれた折下吉延博士でした。
絵画館に向かって、木の高さとゆっくりと下る道の勾配を計算し、遠近法に基づいてイチョウが植えられています。
秋口もきれいですが新緑の季節(4-5月)も爽やかで心地よい場所です。
