    Osaka Met. Toyonogun Nosecho Nomainaji
    Located in the Nosecho district of Osaka’s Toyono-gun, the large Keyaki (Japanese zelkova tree) of Noma is a national natural monument and there is a museum nearby that mainly preserves and displays materials relating to it. The large keyaki with a height of approximately 27 meters and trunk girth of approximately 13 meters said to be about 1,000 years old is one of Japan’s foremost giant trees. The largest branch is approximately 39 meters by approximately 36 meters, and the tree is loved as a symbol of Nose’s abundance nature. From late April to July when the new leaves are out, wild brown hawk owls can be seen sitting in the branches. Entrance to the museum is free.

    大阪府最北端の能勢町にある国の天然記念物に指定されたケヤキの巨木。 観光でこの地を通過するので軽く寄ってみようと行ったのですが、想像以上に立派な木に驚きました。 マイナーな観光地だと思っていたら多くの人が訪れる人気観光地でもあり、駐車場に入るのも少し時間が掛かりました。 樹齢は1,000年以上、目通り幹回り14m、高さ30m、枝張り南北38m、東西42mと言う規格外の大きさには圧倒されます...

While Osaka prefecture is the country's second smallest prefecture, its capital, Osaka City, is the country’s third-largest and arguably one of the most popular in the Kansai region thanks to its vibrant nightlife, the Osaka people’s openness, and its much-loved cuisine, which has earned it the nickname "the nation’s kitchen."
