    Saga Nishimatsuura-gun Aritacho Izumiyama 1-13
    This ginkgo tree at Izumiyama Benzaiten-jinja Shrine is about 40-meters high, 12-meters around at the roots, and has a crown reaching 31-meters east to west. It's about 1,000 years old. It could well be the largest ginkgo tree in Japan. It was designated a national Natural Monument in 1926. Every year from mid to late November, the leaves this enormous tree turn yellow, a brilliant show for the crowds of visitors.

    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。

Saga Areas

Away from the fast-paced cities of mainland Japan, Kyushu’s Saga prefecture offers quaint towns and cities known for their traditional crafts, particularly ceramics. Rich in kaolin (a type of clay), Saga became the homeland of Arita ware, a delicate, decorative porcelain that is now celebrated worldwide and can be discovered in the towns of Arita, Imari, and Karatsu.
