Giant cedar tree growing on the towering rock (upstream of Katagai gawa, Toyama pref.)
I have seen numbers of cavernae cedar trees in my photo-shooting trips to Yakushima, Sado, and Tateyama, but the greatest cavernae cedar tree I have seen was by the Katagai river in Toyama pref. Its trunk is formed by twisted and unified four cedar trees, and its outer circumferential is said to be more than 30 meters. Giant tree holding rock and standing with dignity in the forest is almost fierce. It is absolutely one of the greatest natural giant cedar trees in Japan.
