The "Jigose Shrine Camphor Tree" is over 600 years old, with a trunk circumference of 13.5 meters and a height of 20 meters. It is a natural monument in Wakayama Prefecture and the largest tree in the Kinki region. Although it no longer exists, my childhood home was located beneath this tree. There was an elementary school nearby, and I am also one of its graduates. This great tree has endured significant damage from typhoons and lightning, yet it still stands strong today.
