- This gingko tree, which is also known as the Tanaka-no-Oicho, is located in Tanaka, Fujikoto, Fujisato Town, Yamamoto County.

It has been designated as a Prefectural Natural Monument.

Akita Areas
Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
