Regarding the redevelopment of Meiji Jingu Gaien, which spans Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward, the operator plans to cut down 743 trees, while preserving the famous ginkgo trees.
The council of the city held an online meeting on the 26th and exchanged opinions on the impact of redevelopment on ginkgo trees.
One member of the committee commented, ``The ginkgo trees are already old, and if things continue as they are, some of them may wither and die. I want it.”
In addition, another member of the committee requested that "since Tokyo residents feel uneasy about how to judge the plan, we would like to see a form in which opinions can be exchanged."
The council will continue deliberations based on the results of a survey conducted by a business that investigated whether ginkgo trees are healthy.
