In late summer 2009 I visited this lane of pine trees in Watari with my family. I don't know how this same place looks after the earthquake in Japan earlier this year. The ocean is on the other side of the wall visible in the distance.
Perhaps the most famous trees in Japan are
Sugi trees (above and below). Shinto shrines have some of the best and most accessible examples of these impressive relatives of cypress.
Jōmon Sugi is the largest Sugi tree. Just as
Tāne Mahuta is one of the largest kauri trees.
