Jomon Sugi

Jomon Sugi

Jomon Sugi is the most famous giant tree among the Yakusugi trees located on Yakushima Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, with an estimated age ranging from 2,170 to 7,200 years. This enormous cedar stands about 25.3 meters tall and has a circumference of approximately 16.4 meters. Its rugged bark tells the story of Yakushima's harsh natural environment. Access to Jomon Sugi requires about a 10-hour trek from the Arakawa trailhead, with Wilson’s Stump and the O-dai Sugi also visible along the way. This giant tree, which evokes a sense of nature's mysteries, is a symbol of Yakushima Island.
