What is Hananoki at Iinami High School?
On the grounds of Mie Prefectural Iinami High School, there is a Japanese flower tree that is approximately 25 meters tall and turns bright red in autumn.
It is a huge tree that is approximately 80 to 90 years old and has a trunk circumference of 4 meters.
FugamaruHananoki is a deciduous tree belonging to the Maple family, and is a valuable tree endemic to Japan. It is said that the name "hananoki" comes from the red flowers that bloom before the leaves open.
Chamuis characterized by flowers blooming in the spring and leaves turning bright red in the fall. In this article, we will introduce the best time to see autumn leaves, as well as tips for taking beautiful photos!
How to get to Hananoki
Iinan High School's Hananoki is located along National Route 166, very close to the Mie Kotsu bus stop ``Iinan High School''.
Even if you look at it from along the Fugamaruroad, you will be overwhelmed by its size! The Japanese red tree stands tall on the lawn of Iinan High School, and anyone can freely view it.
When using yourChamu car's navigation system or your smartphone's map app, it's a good idea to set "Iinan High School" as your destination.
Parking location
There is a parking lot right next to the lawn area with towering Japanese red trees. This is on the grounds of Iinami High School, but non-school personnel can park there if they wish to view the Japanese red trees.
Please do not park outside the Fugamaruparking area or on the street as this will obstruct traffic.
Best time to see autumn leaves
The leaves of the Hananoki trees at Iinami High School turn red from around early November, and reach their peak of autumn leaves in mid-November.
Chamu2021 reached its peak on November 17th. The color changes from green to red from the outside of the tree toward the center.
The charm of Hananoki is that you can enjoy it even when the leaves have fallen♫ When I visited on November 23, 2019, the leaves had fallen just right and it was beautiful. *The above photo is
The status of Chamuautumn leaves will be announced in the announcement section of Iinan High School's official website. Announcements are posted almost every day as the best time to see them approaches, so be sure to check them out!
Shooting point
From here, we will introduce some points and tips to take more beautiful pictures of Japanese redflowers! Since it is a huge tree, you can enjoy taking pictures from various viewpoints ♫
① Take pictures with backlight
If you want to take pictures of brightly colored autumn leaves, we recommend backlighting! Find the position where the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and take the photo.
The sunlight shines through the leaves, allowing you to take photos of the vivid colors of the autumn leaves.
ChamuMyrecommendation is backlighting in the afternoon. The closer it is to sunset, the warmer the colors will appear♫
② Take photos from a low angle
If you shoot with the camera close to the ground, the leaves on the ground will appear larger. Combined with backlighting, the sense of reality and vividness of colors increases!
FugamaruActually, this photo was taken from the same position as photo ①. Just changing your perspective a little can make a big difference in how you see things.
The Chamlow angle gives you a perspective of looking up at the trees, so I was able to see the autumn leaves fill the screen more than in photo 1.
③ Take photos with vertical composition
Let's get a little closer to the Japanese redwood tree and take a picture with a vertical composition. You can clearly see both fallen leaves and Japanese red trees.
The Hananoki trees at FugamaruIinami High School are characterized by their beautiful fallen leaves. I thought that a vertical composition would be able to show the charm of both the giant tree and fallen leaves.
④ Play with fallen leaves
I made a heart mark using fallen Japanese red leaves. Let's make effective use of fallen leaves and enjoy admiring and photographing Japanese red trees.
ChamuI have a feeling that if your child sits next to the heart symbol, you will be able to take some cute pictures! Hananoki is a perfect spot for commemorative photos.
Hananoki concert held
In mid-November, the Iinami High School Brass Band will hold the ``Japanese Red Leaves Evening Concert'' under the Japanese red trees. In 2021, it was held on November 9th.
FugamaruThe Hananoki Concert is an annual event at Iinan High School. This event is also a great occasion for the third-year brass band members who are about to graduate.
ChamuThe sight and tone of the students playing under the Japanese red oak trees touches my heart ♫ The concert date is Announcement section of Iinan High School official website It will be announced and anyone can watch it for free.
