    This large cedar tree, a Special Natural Monument of Japan, is located on the grounds of Yasaka Shrine in Sugi, Otoyo Town, Nagaoka County. Some 60 meters tall, the tree is actually comprised of two separate trees referred to as Minami Osugi (''south large cedar'') and Kita Osugi (''north large cedar'') respectively. It is also known as the Meoto Sugi (''married cedar'') and the Shusse Sugi (''success cedar''). Legend has it that the tree, estimated to be around 3,000 years old, was planted by the Shinto deity Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Many people visit to pray for better fortune or for luck in marriage.

Kochi Areas

around-area-map

The largest of Shikoku’s prefectures, Kochi is endowed with some of the island’s most exceptional sand beaches lining the Pacific Ocean, which narrows into the Shimanto-gawa, a huge river that stretches 196 kilometers into the prefecture, passing verdant mountains and hosting countless riverside activities. Whether you’re a pilgrim or not, Kochi’s 16 Buddhist temples that make up one leg of the Shikoku Pilgrimage are worth a visit, particularly Chikurin-ji for its five-tier pagoda.
