Hinpun Banyan Tree, Natural monument in Ōhigashi, Japan.
The Hinpun Banyan Tree reaches 8 meters in height with a branch spread of 22 meters and a trunk circumference of 6 meters.
The graduating class of Kunigami Elementary School planted this banyan tree in 1898, marking the beginning of its growth into Japan's largest specimen.
The tree holds connections to local folklore through stories of the Kijimuna spirits, which according to Okinawan tales inhabit banyan trees.
Located just 3 minutes from Okinoerabu Airport and 10 minutes from Wadomari Port, the tree welcomes visitors throughout the year without entrance fees.
The branches of this banyan tree form a natural pattern that mirrors the silhouette of Mount Fuji when viewed from certain angles.
