Yellow Snow
If you have time this week, I would recommend checking out the Autumn leaves in Yasakuni Shrine and nearby Kitanomaru Park. I went there at lunchtime today and took these photos of the Ichou (Ginkgo/Maidenhair) trees. The leaves are a striking yellow and shaped like fans. My photos don’t do them justice…
Any other recommended spots in Tokyo for viewing the late Autumn leaves (紅葉) ?

The colors are wonderful, but the smell of the crushed ginkgo nuts is overwhelming at times. Can’t help you with other sites in Tokyo - I was born outside Yokohama and grew up pretty much all my life in the Yokohama area.
I know what you mean about the smell; it’s lucky so many people have colds at this time of year…
