Ogyō no Matsu, Pine tree in Taitō-ku, Japan.

The Ogyō no Matsu reaches 13 meters in height and stands prominently within the grounds of Saizo-in Temple in the Negishi district.

Designated as a National Living Monument in 1915, the original tree lived for 350 years until 1928, when environmental factors led to its decline.

The tree gained recognition through its depiction in the Edo Meisyo Zue texts and the artworks of Ando Hiroshige during Japan's Edo period.

Visitors can access the tree site through Uguisudani Station on the Yamanote Line, with regular opening hours at Saizo-in Temple throughout the year.

The current tree represents the third generation, while the roots of the first tree were transformed into a Buddhist Fudo statue at Saizo-in Temple.

Location: Taitō-ku
