A centuries-old Zelkova (Keyaki) with a massive gnarled trunk and wide canopy — an intimate subject for nature and cultural photography. Best at golden hour or soft overcast light; autumn gives brilliant foliage, spring offers fresh green. Easy short walk from Iwadono; small shrine/rope may mark sacred area—do not climb. Limited roadside parking; arrive weekdays or early morning to avoid visitors. No entry fee.
