Suzakura Shrine: Kamishiro Cherry
長野市泉平３９５
A shrine located in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, featuring a giant tree within its grounds designated as a National Natural Monument, known as the 'Kamishiro Cherry' (Divine Age Cherry).
History
Legend holds that among the cherry trees that ancient deities bestowed upon various regions to cultivate, only the cherry in Ii survived, leading it to be called 'Suzakura' (Plain Cherry) as 'the very first cherry received from the gods.' Another tradition states that the spirit of the cherry declared itself 'Suzakura' because it is the most fundamental cherry of Japan. Enshrined in the grounds is the 'Kamishiro Cherry,' a National Natural Monument approximately 1,200 years old, said to have grown from a staff planted by Susanoo when he rested.

What visitors say
It is an exceptionally magnificent giant tree, characterized by a trunk with the dignity of having withstood wind and snow. The grounds are narrow, so a wide-angle lens may be required to capture the entire tree. There is no parking lot, so visitors must park on the surrounding roads and climb the stairs to reach the shrine.
