Hongō-yumimachi no Kusu, Sacred tree in Hongō district, Tokyo, Japan.
The Cinnamomum camphora tree stands 20 meters tall with a trunk circumference of 8.4 meters in the middle of modern buildings.
The tree grows on the former grounds of a samurai residence from the Edo period, where Kaisho Kiemon's estate was located.
The tree bears a sacred rope called shimenawa, reflecting traditional Japanese practices of marking natural elements as spiritually significant.
