Great sugi of Kayano, Sacred tree at Sugawara Shrine in Yamanaka Onsen, Japan.
The Great Sugi of Kayano reaches 54.8 meters in height with a base circumference of 11.5 meters and splits into two trunks 4.9 meters above ground.
Professor Manabu Miyoshi from Tokyo Imperial University conducted research in 1928 and determined the tree's age to be approximately 2,300 years old.
The tree forms part of a group of four sacred cryptomerias surrounding Sugawara Shrine, where warriors from Taira, Minamoto, and Asakura clans visited throughout history.
Visitors can observe this Special Natural Monument while exploring the adjacent shrine grounds and discovering archaeological remnants from the Jomon period in nearby fields.
Emperor Showa selected this specific tree for a visit during the second National Sports Festival of Japan in Ishikawa Prefecture on October 27, 1947.
