In the quiet grounds, there is a large ginkgo tree estimated to be 1,900 years old that has an overwhelming presence. Its trunk is one of the largest in Japan, with a circumference of about 9.7 meters, and is said to be as thick as five adults holding hands. The large branches have many knobby things called aerial roots, which resemble a mother's breasts, and it was said in the past that drinking a decoction of the skin would improve breast milk production. #KitakyushuTourism #FukuokaTourism #OngaGunShrine #FukuokaShrine #KitakyushuShrine #KyushuTourism
