嘉代子桜

The 嘉代子桜 tree stands at Sanno Shrine, displaying deep scars in its trunk from the 1945 atomic blast while maintaining strong branches and new growth.

During the atomic bombing of August 1945, the tree endured severe damage, with its trunk splitting and branches burning, yet managed to generate new shoots afterward.

The tree serves as a symbol for the Hibakujumoku preservation movement, which documents and protects trees that endured the atomic bombings in Japan.

Visitors can reach the tree by taking a 10-minute walk from JR Urakami Station or using the streetcar to Daigaku Byoin stop in Nagasaki.

The Kusunoki Foundation, established in 2018, maintains this tree along with 49 other atomic bomb survivors within four kilometers of the explosion site.
