Arima Onsen Ginkgo Secret Spot [Tomomoto Shrine]

Hidden away in Arima Onsen Street is Tomoto Shrine, a little-known autumn secret. During the ginkgo season, the area around the shrine is dyed golden. The path covered with ginkgo leaves and the quaint shrine buildings complement each other, making people feel as if they are in a fairy tale world. 🌟 **Highlights of my experience** 1. **Golden Ginkgo Tunnel**: The inside and outside of Tongben Shrine are full of ginkgo trees, and the ground is covered with golden yellow like a carpet.
