    Mie Kameyama-shi Nomura
    "This designated National Historic Site stands on the old Tokaido highway in Nomura, Kameyama City. During the Edo period, the Tokugawa shogunate government placed distance markers along major highways every ""ri"" (approximately 3.927 kilomters) starting at the Nihonbashi bridge; this particular marker is the only extant example in the prefecture. A 400-year-old muku tree grows on top of the distance marker's mound."

    Mie Matsusaka-shi Iitakacho Ako 2507
    "This Shinto shrine stands on National Route 166 in Ako, Iitaka-cho, Matsusaka City. The shrine was established over 1,000 years ago by the Kasugataisha shrine in Nara as temporary imperial lodgings. The shrine is deeply connected to water; for example, in a ceremony called the ""O-mizu-okuri,"" sacred water from the Akaoke well west of the shrine is offered to the gods. A huge sacred camphor tree on the shrine's grounds is estimated to be over a millennium old and has been designated a Natural Monument by the prefecture."

    Fukuoka Asakura-gun Tohomura Koishiwara
    Giant cedar trees located in the Shukudaira National Forest. There are over 300 cedars more than 200 years old surrounding the Gyoja-do Hall in which En-no-Gyoja, founder of Shugendo mountain asceticism, is enshrined. They are called Gyoja Cedars as they were planted by the practitioners of Shugendo. Amongst them the Daiou-Sugi (Great King Cedar) stands over 50-meter tall and is estimated to be 600 years old.

    Kagawa Pref. Shouzuguntonoshouchou Kamishou

    樹齢1600年を誇る国指定の特別天然記念物、根の周囲16.9m、高さは約21mと云う巨大な真柏です、見る角度によって色々な動物の姿に見える。当初は1本のものが、落雷で3つに割れたと云われている。宝生院そのものは高野山真言宗寺院で小豆島霊場第54番札所の寺院。古墳時代に応神天皇がお手植えされたものがこの真柏と伝わっている。当日は住職が不在とかで、納経印も全く値打ちが無い「書置き」の紙、こういう対応の...

    Okayama Katsuta-gun Nagicho Koen 1532

    菩提寺の大イチョウ。 巨大で写真に収まらない。 巨大なだけでなく、四方八方に伸びた大枝や垂れ下がった気根、この時期なのに葉がまだ緑色で、900歳とは思えない若々しさ。 樹齢900年、幹周り13m、樹高40m。 法然聖人がここで修行中に植えたと伝えられています。 菩提寺の近くにある大イチョウたちのDNAが同じであることが分かったそうで、彼が子孫を増やしているのかもしれません。

    Fukui Pref. Tsurugashi Hara 13-7

    古い古刹です。結城秀康の末子が住職をして徳川家と深い繋がりのある寺です。紅葉が綺麗との事でしたが、歴史の方にロマンを感じました。山門は火事で焼けてコンクリートの再建です。

    その昔、高僧の行基菩薩が楠の幹に観音像を彫ったとされます。佐賀県には大楠が沢山ありますが、こちらも見事です。周りにはお土産屋さんがありちょっと休憩がてらに立ち寄ってみました。駐車場・トイレもあります。
