    Ehime Pref. Nishiuwagunikatachou Misaki
    This giant tree is growing near Misaki Port. The tree is 18-meters tall and 14-meters around and is estimated to be 600 years old. A key trait is its countless aerial roots. These, somewhat resembling octopus tentacles, has led to the tree sometimes being called the Octopus Tree. Being the northernmost example of the subtropical Moraceae plant family it was designated as Shikoku's first natural monument. With its overwhelming size and thick powerful roots entangled with a stone wall you can feel the power of nature. This famous tree has also appeared in television commercials.

Stretched across the northwest corner of Shikoku island, Ehime is a nature-rich prefecture boasting beautiful coastlines and a rural center where mountains play host to 26 of the Buddhist temples that make up the Shikoku Pilgrimage. Matsuyama is home to an original post-feudal castle as well as Dogo Onsen, one of the country’s oldest natural hot springs. The northern city of Imabari marks the entrance to the Shimano Kaido, a road that crosses six spectacular bridges and several islands, forming a route between Shikoku and mainland Honshu.
