Kasuga-jinja Shrine, Black Pine Grove (Kasuga no Mori)

Other Sightseeing Spot
A grove of black pine trees on a lovely white sand beach at Kasuga-jinja Shrine. Near the Kasuga River, there are approximately 70 trees over 350 years old. Commonly known as Kasuga-no-Mori, the individual black pines in the stand average about 25-meters in height. An enormous 60-meter tree was crowned the tallest in Japan in 1961. Visit early on the spring or fall equinoxes to watch the sun rise up the center of the shrine's torii gate. There's also the interesting sight of southern Japanese aerides orchids that bloom among the pines, while northern beach rose blooms along the beach.
