能因法師求雨樟樹, Sacred camphor tree at Ōyamazumi Shrine, Imabari, Japan.
The giant camphor tree stands 20 meters tall within the shrine grounds, displaying thick branches that extend outward in multiple directions.
This 2,600-year-old tree has remained at Ōyamazumi Shrine since its establishment in 594, witnessing centuries of religious ceremonies and cultural events.
The tree holds status as a national natural monument since 1951, representing the deep connection between Shinto practices and natural elements.
Visitors can observe the ancient camphor tree during shrine opening hours from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with dedicated parking spaces available.
The tree earned its name from a Buddhist priest who performed rain prayers beneath its branches during a severe drought period.
