Now that we got our new car, we decided to take it on its first drive last weekend. We chose to go see Japan's largest gingko tree which is located in Kita Kanegasawa in Fukaura, about an hour's drive away from our home. I was hoping to see it in alls its golden splendor.
うちの新車がやっと届きましたので、先週末の日曜日に新車で初ドライブに出かけました。私たちの目的は深浦町北金ヶ沢にある日本一のイチョウ。秋になったので、真っ黄色になってるのかチェックして見たかった。
It looks like we were a little too early in the season. Ony a part of the tip of the three had turned yellow. My wife heard one of the locals say that the best time to see the tree is at the end of November, closer to December. We will have to come again next year.
時期はちょっと早すぎた。ほんの一部しか黄色になってない。妻が近所の方の話を聞き、秋の見所は１１月末でした。それか１２月の上旬。また来年見に来ることにした。
Yes, that's me!
はい、それは僕です！
Ａ little history of tree. It is over a thousand years old. It is 31 meters tall (102 ft), the trunk measures 22 meters in diameter (72 ft) and is believed to have been planted between the years 1321 and 1400.
Bits of yellow.
一部が黄色くなってる。
Dragons are always cool.
龍はカッコイイですね。
The base of the tree.

I was hoping the entire tree would be this color.
木が全体この色で見たかった。
Well, that gives us something to look forward to next year.
ま、それは来年の楽しみにする。
