The rows of zelkova trees in front of the Kyoto Prefectural Botanical Gardens are starting to change color (November 8, Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City)

The street is made up of about 50 zelkova trees planted on both sides of the approximately 250-meter road leading up to the main gate. According to the gardens, the trees are nearly 100 years old.

This year, they began to change color at the end of October, and are getting redder with each passing day, delighting locals walking their dogs and visitors to the garden.
