　#銀杏山神社 #⛩️

The leaves of this large #GingkoTree at #IchousanShrine turn yellow around mid #November in #autumn ! 🍃
The adjacent picturesque #shrine surrounded by cedar trees boasts a #history of over 1300 years and is believed to have been built around the Yamato Dynasty (658 AD) by Abe no Hirafu (a Japanese military commander of the Asuka period) to pray for victory during his expedition to conquer Ezo (former name of the area in #Hokkaido where the #Ainu people resided).

Fun fact - there are actually 3 large #Ginkgo trees on the shrine’s premises!
