    This cedar tree stands near the Tateyama Cable Car Bijodaira Station and Tateyama Highland Bus Bijodaira stop, and, according to legend, was once a girl who was turned into the tree as divine punishment for climbing the holy mountain during a time when only men were allowed to. The cedar trees in the Tateyama Mountain Range are known as Tateyama cedars, and Bijodaira, enshrouded by virgin forest, is famous for its beautiful Tateyama cedars. The tree is located on the south side of the station.

Toyama Areas

Toyama is one of the three prefectures that house the Japanese Alps, with its southern and eastern borders comprising one long stretch of mountains, out of which the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is forged. While traditional crafts fill the northern coastal cities of Toyama and Takaoka, thatched roof houses offer unrivalled views against a backdrop of fantastic scenery at Gokayama in the mountainous area in the south of the prefecture.
