Ubame Oak Grove

This mystical “power spot” is located on Sensui Island, which is a part of Japan’s very first national park, Setonaikai National Park. This grove of ubame oaks grows along a road following one of Mt. Misen’s ridgelines. Known for its magical scenery, records state that in ancient times, mountain hermits were enraptured by the area’s spectacular ubame oaks, whose trunks frequently diverge into four or even eight forks. Although the island itself is small (just five kilometers in circumference), here ancient natural beauty remains largely untouched. A walking path in the area follows the coastline from the west side of the island to the south, and many tourists come here to hike in this enchanted place.
