Tokyo's most famous autumn sight: 146 ginkgo trees in four rows turn the avenue into a golden tunnel, and fallen leaves carpet the sidewalk. Free to walk. Redevelopment work nearby can change which paths are open.
An Edo-period daimyo garden whose pond is framed by red maples. The evening light-up is very popular; buying the night ticket online in advance gives you a priority entry line.

An early Edo-period garden next to Tokyo Dome, famous for the red Tsutenkyo bridge among the maples. This year's evening opening comes a little before the usual peak, so the later days have more color.

A huge garden near Shinjuku Station with Japanese maples, ginkgo and big plane trees. Different trees turn at different times, so the season lasts longer here. No alcohol allowed.

Autumn colors around the pond, best seen from a rental boat (paid). A short walk from Kichijoji Station, and on the way to the Ghibli Museum.
Golden ginkgo trees with Tokyo Tower rising behind the temple: a classic autumn photo spot, free to visit.
The ginkgo avenue leading to Yasuda Auditorium turns bright yellow. It's a working university, so stay on public paths and keep quiet near buildings.
