Great Katsura of Wachi, Natural monument in Kami, Japan.
The Great Katsura of Wachi extends across a mountain stream within the 17-hectare Tajima Plateau Botanical Gardens, situated 650 meters above sea level.
This Japanese Judas tree, registered as a natural monument of Hyogo Prefecture, stands as a living witness to over 1000 years of local history.
The tree's water source, known as Katsura no Sennensui, received recognition in 2008 from Japan's Ministry of Environment as one of the 100 notable waters.
The gardens welcome visitors from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with entrance fees of 500 yen for adults and reduced rates for students.
The spring near the tree produces 5,000 tons of pure water daily at a constant temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, suitable for brewing tea and coffee.
