Ichijōji Sagarimatsu, Pine tree in Sakyō-ku, Japan
The fourth-generation pine tree stands on the grounds of Hachidai Shrine, marked by a stone monument commemorating a notable samurai duel.
In the early 1600s, this location witnessed the confrontation between Miyamoto Musashi and members of the Yoshioka family, resulting in their school's decline.
The preserved trunk of the original pine tree remains enshrined at Hachidai Shrine, accompanied by a bronze statue depicting Musashi with dual swords.
Visitors can reach the site by taking bus number 5 from Kyoto Station for 40 minutes or using the Eizan line train to Ichijōji Station.
The stone monument at the site displays an inscription reading 'Miyamoto/Yoshioka Duel Site' in recognition of the historical combat that occurred there.
