[Metasequoia Tree Line | Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture "A tunnel of trees that continues in a straight line. A road where you can feel the change of the seasons in a straight line"] — About 500 metasequoia trees are lined up for about 2.4 km along the prefectural road to Makino Plateau in Shiga Prefecture. The straight tree-lined road is as beautiful as a scene from a movie. There are no flashy tourist facilities, but that is why it is a place where you can concentrate on the "expression of nature". You can walk or drive there. It's a simple view, but it's sure to stay in your mind. ⸻ 📍【Location & Access】 ・Address: Hiruguchi to Makino, Makino-cho, Takashima-shi, Shiga ・Access: About 10 minutes by rental bicycle or taxi from JR Kosei Line "Makino Station" ・By car: Meishin Expressway "Kyoto Higashi IC" → About 90 minutes (free parking available) 🕰️【Free sightseeing】 ・Tree-lined road is open 24 hours a day ・No lighting (place to enjoy nature as it is) 💰【Cost】 ・Free to visit (parking is basically free as well) ⸻ 🌲Recommended points • "Picturesque" no matter what season you visit 　→ Spring: Soft green / Summer: Deep green / Autumn: Golden autumn leaves / Winter: Silence covered in snow • A composition that is irresistible for photography lovers 　→ Angle from the center / Depth from an oblique angle / Perfect with a wide-angle lens • Cycling and jogging are also great 　→ Driving under the tree-lined road gives you the feeling of going through a natural tunnel • You can enjoy it from the car window → Driving slowly while driving can be a great way to change your mood ⸻ 📸 Tips ・The best seasons are autumn leaves (late November) and snowy scenery (mid-January) ・Early mornings or weekdays are the best times to go (quiet with few tourists and photographers) ・Watch out for cars when standing in the middle of the tree-lined road.
