- 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.
