Metasequoia Avenue

Spectacular Tree-Lined Road Colored by Four Seasons

The tree-lined road with about 500 metasequoias extending approximately 2.4km was planted in 1981 alongside the development of agricultural park Makino Picland. It has become a famous spot selected among Japan's Top 100 Roads.

Autumn Foliage

From mid to late November, metasequoias turn red and orange, showing blazing beauty along the entire tree-lined road. This period sees many photographers and tourists.

Winter Snow Scene

When snow falls, it transforms into a silver world. The snow-covered metasequoia avenue becomes a fantastical scene described as a "silver tunnel."

Surrounding Activities

Makino Picland adjacent to the avenue offers agricultural experiences and fruit picking. With a nearby ski resort and Lake Biwa beaches, the area offers activities enjoyable through all four seasons.
