Yōgō no Matsu, Giant pine tree at Zen'yō-ji Temple in Higashi-Koiwa, Japan.
The branches of this black pine extend 31 meters from east to west and 28 meters from north to south, making it Japan's widest pine tree.
This natural monument dates back more than 600 years and stands as a witness to the establishment of Zen'yō-ji Temple in the 16th century.
The temple grounds feature 88 stone shrines containing soil from each location of the Shikoku pilgrimage route, connecting it to broader Buddhist traditions.
Visitors can reach the tree by taking the Keisei Bus from Koiwa Station to Edogawa Hospital Mae stop, followed by a three-minute walk.
The name 'Yōgō' refers to manifestations of deities in the physical world, while the tree's massive branches require special support structures.
