However, talented photographer Y. Takase, who captures Japan’s stunning natural scenery, has discovered an exception. On a recent visit to Hyogo, Takase photographed a striking gingko tree that has captured both the eyes and imaginations of Instagram users.

Taken at the end of November, the tree’s dense, golden leaves, still clinging to its branches, drew comparisons to various favorite foods. Its perfectly round and golden appearance has led some to describe it as the most delicious-looking tree in Japan, likening it to fluffy cotton candy and crispy croquettes!
