History
Legend holds that Emperor Ojin planted this tree by hand during a visit to Shodoshima Island in the Kofun period. During the Edo period, it was recognized as a representative giant tree of Shodoshima. It was designated as a Natural Monument in 1922 and as a Special Natural Monument in 1955. When the main hall was rebuilt in 1882, there were plans to cut down the tree, but dedicated supporters intervened to prevent it.
