Three-faced camellia

This giant camellia tree is located in the grounds of Kumano Shrine in Suesaki Town.It is 17 meters tall, 8 meters in circumference at the base, and is the largest and oldest tree in Japan, approximately 1,400 years old. At that time, there were camellias on the east, south, and west sides of the shrine, which is why it got its name, but now only the east side remains and is designated as a natural monument by the prefecture.
