The age of a tree is 2600 presumption. 7200. A green leaf is being made to grow thick with YAKUSHIMA now. JHOMONSUGI has power that covers to the one seen because it stands on the slope and leaves. It is possible to visit the look to have lived long Gotsgots life that it assumes and the nature becomes far on the surface of a fat trunk.

16m in surroundings 23m in height. It is the oldest big tree. maximum YAKUSHIMA it
The maximum Yaku Japan cedar to be being confirmed now. 10,000 tourists or more a year visit spending one way 3〜5 time.


JHOMONSUGI is a maximum level Yaku Japan cedar that grows naturally in YAKUSHIMA. It is famous as Furuki who represents the Yaku Japan cedar. It takes about round trip 8?10 hour to see JHOMONSUGI on foot. It cannot enter surroundings of the tree because of protection now, and the view from the observatory.

The origin of JHOMONSUGI It was discovered by the person who was the sightseeing section chief of the Yaku town office in 1966 and it was introduced widely. At first, the discovery is called Ooiwasgi. The origin of the JHOMONSUGI name looks like the Jomon earthenware by forming the theory that the age of a tree that had been presumed at that time came from alive in the age of Jomon in 4000 years or more and the trunk that undulates freely and has To.

The possibility that was the union tree in which about three young trees fused and the Furuki environment was wrapped with the investigation afterwards surfaced, and the age of a tree was judged about 2700 in the age determination in the part of a young outside tree though the age of a tree was estimated to be 7000 years or more from an annual ring measurement of surroundings of the tree and the size etc. of Mikishuu at first and it became a topic.

However, JHOMONSUGI has been proven to be not the union tree but one tree since Department of Agriculture at Kagoshima University analyzes Parokishidarze of JHOMONSUGI in the isozyme. Moreover, signs of the fallen dawn tree update have been discovered by the investigation.

Moreover, even if a large-scale plant in the southern part of Kyushu islands including YAKUSHIMA is thought to be annihilation by the product shop pyroclastic flow that extended from the demon boundary caldera about 7300 years ago, and the age of a tree of JHOMONSUGI is old, assuming not going back seems to be an established theory by 4000 years or more.

On the other hand, large-scale of monkey etc. that do not have record that was brought in at posterity The entire YAKUSHIMA was not swallowed from the in existence of the animal to pyroclastic flow but a part of flora and fauna also has the opinion that assumed whether to have survived.

There is not the one to deny the theory of 7200 the age of a tree by 1 00%, and either the big tree to feel the romance in the age to be deep though there are various opinions about the age of a tree.

It is named, the branch that broke by the weight of the snowfall in 20 05 is "Tree of the life", and is being exhibited in a Yaku Japan cedar natural pavilion now. The magnificence of JHOMONSUGI can be felt even here.
