Visit Arita's Great Ginkgo Tree, a designated natural monument, located within the grounds of Izumiyama Benzaiten Shrine. This ancient tree, estimated to be around 1,000 years old, stands approximately 40 meters tall and offers a breathtaking sight, especially during the autumn foliage season when its leaves turn a vibrant yellow. The tree is easily accessible from JR Kami-Arita Station and is near the Izumiyama Quarry Site. It's a short walk from the station, making it a convenient stop during your Arita exploration. The best time to visit is in the fall to witness the stunning golden leaves. Don't miss the nearby Tonbai walls for an extra touch of local charm.
