Bodaiji Temple Ginkgo Tree

I'm impressed by the appearance of young 々 though it's 900 years old

Original Text

The big ginkgo of the family temple. It's huge and doesn't fit in the photo. Not only is it huge, but it also has branches that stretch in all directions and hanging roots, and the leaves are still green at this time, and it's a young 々 that doesn't seem to be 900 years old. The tree is 900 years old, 13m around the trunk and 40m high. It is said that Honen saints planted it during training here. It seems that the DNA of the large ginkgo trees near the family temple was the same, and he may be increasing his descendants.

It is a large ginkgo tree in the precincts of the family temple on the hillside of Mt. Nagi. It is also a national natural monument and is the largest giant tree in Okayama Prefecture. The trunk area and height are not so much, but I thought it was very beautiful to see branches that stretched large sideways and many trunks stretched vertically.

A temple appeared in the deep mountain about 2 km from the station at the foot of Mt. Nagi, and there was a huge ginkgo tree next to it. I'm getting older and I'm like an old man, but I'm still doing my best, and I was a little impressed. This time, I would like to come during the young leaves or autumn leaves season.
