This silicified tree of Sequoia japonica, located near Atago Shrine in Atagoyama Nature Park, is 12 million years old and emerged from the Inase Volcanic Formation, a sandy-questioning ash rock mixed with andesite rocky shore. That section alone is 1.3 m in diameter and 4 m high, making it the second largest silicified tree in the prefecture after the Nemoto silicified tree.
