[Latest November 2023] The best time to see the autumn leaves of the Metasequoia and cherry blossom trees at Ishigakiike Park

Ishigaki Pond Park has sports facilities such as a baseball field and track and field stadium on the east side, and rows of metasequoia and cherry blossom trees around Ishigaki Pond on the west side of the park. Dogs are allowed to walk along the promenade on the west side of the park and around the Metasequoia and cherry blossom trees. On this day as well, people with dogs and people walking were taking photos of the colorful Metasequoia.

The weather on this day was warm and calm with no wind. I was enchanted by the beauty of the sunset reflected in the pond.

A fake tree for wild birds has been installed on the island in the center of the pond, and it is also used as a place to observe the wild birds and ducks that come to the pond. On this day, we saw spot-billed ducks and migratory mallard ducks.

On this day, we saw a beautiful "sun pillar" extending long and thin from the sun. It is said that the sun pillar can only be seen for a short period of time during sunrise and sunset, when certain conditions are met.
