Jindai Zakura, Ancient cherry tree at Jissoji Temple in Hokuto, Japan
The Jindai Zakura stands 10.3 meters tall with a trunk circumference of 11.8 meters, displaying pink blossoms against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains.
Designated as Japan's first Natural Monument in 1922, this Edo Higan cherry tree has lived through approximately 2000 years of Japanese history.
Local residents maintain the tree through dedicated preservation efforts, ensuring its survival as one of the Five Great Cherry Trees of Japan.
Visitors can reach the tree by taking a 15-minute taxi ride from JR Hinoharu Station or driving 15 minutes from Sutama Interchange on the Chuo Expressway.
The tree receives special care with metal supports holding its branches and continues to produce flowers from late March to early April each year.
