| Tour Highlights | Jomon Cedar is the thickest cedar tree in Japan, and an enduring mystery. Its exact age is still unknown and debated; theories range wildly from 2,170 to 7,200 years, partly due to its hollowed-out center which prevents precise measurement. Its immense, imposing presence and the sheer weight of its ancient history make it well worth the challenging journey to witness. |
