Large, ancient camphor tree (Daimon Kusu) near Tachibanaguchi — a single, gnarly subject ideal for intimate natural portraits, detail studies of bark/roots, and scale shots with people. Visit at golden hour or blue hour for warm side-light and long shadows. Site is roadside and walkable from local parking; no entry fee but respect shrine/private grounds and quiet worshippers. Spring and autumn add foliage color; avoid mid-day harsh sun.
