Suzakura Shrine

長野市泉平513

A shrine located in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, featuring a giant tree within its grounds designated as a National Natural Monument, known as the 'Suzakura Shrine's Kamishiro Sakura (Divine Age Cherry Tree).'

History

Legend holds that among the cherry trees the ancient deities bestowed upon various lands to cultivate, only the cherry tree in Imai survived, leading to its name 'Suzakura' (Plain Cherry), meaning 'the first cherry received from the gods.' Another tradition states that the spirit of the cherry declared itself the most fundamental essence of Japanese cherry trees. It is also said that when Susanoo rested in this area, he planted his cherry-wood staff by the pond, and it grew into a large tree.
