A Power Spot Where the Thousand-Year-Old Dragon Spirit Tree Stands
About this spot
An ancient shrine where the majestic "Dragon Spirit Tree," a large Japanese zelkova said to be over a thousand years old, stands prominently. The shrine grounds, where spring water flows from Mt. Bukoh, are filled with pure air and are known as one of Chichibu's most powerful spiritual sites, dedicated to the Eight Dragon Kings. The compact, shaded grounds are ideal for a leisurely midday rest.
Tips
The grounds have benches, perfect for grandparents to take a break. The large hollow in front of the Dragon Spirit Tree is a classic spot for three-generation family photos.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 30 minutes. Afternoon visits are peaceful and quiet.
