Aizen Katsura
"A large katsura tree designated a Natural Monument by Nagano Prefecture located on the grounds of the Kitamuki Kannon Temple in Bessho Onsen. The sacred 1,200 year old tree is said to have been inhabited by Kannon, who emerged suddenly from a fire pit at the Joraku-ji Temple. The tree's name is derived from the Aizendo hall on the opposite side of the road, and from Matsutaro Kawaguchi's novel ""Aizen Katsura,"" which won the first Naoki Prize. Because of its association with the novel, in recent years it has come to be seen as a symbol of luck in love and is visited by large numbers of tourists each year."
