Nanshu-ji's 1400-Year-Old Golden Ginkgo: Osaka's Autumn Wonder
While exploring Moriguchi City in Osaka, I was fortunate enough to witness the stunning beauty of Nanshu-ji Temple's grand ginkgo tree, which has stood for over 1,400 years. In the autumn, its leaves turn a radiant gold, creating an almost otherworldly scene.
That day, a strong breeze set the stage, causing the ginkgo leaves to flutter down like golden rain. I couldn't help but sit down and soak in this natural display, feeling as though time had momentarily stopped. The ginkgo tree's magical beauty captivated me, offering a profound connection to the splendor of nature and the simple joys of life.
