Flow of the course

About this spot

A park in Rengeji, Nagaoka City, spreading out at the foot of the 'Great Cedar of Rengeji,' a prefectural natural monument. This great cedar stands within the grounds of Shichisha-gu Shrine, and is a giant tree about 50 meters tall, with a girth of 8.85 meters, estimated to be about 1,300 years old. The park has a children's plaza with playground equipment, a barbecue area, and a pavilion, letting you relax amid the greenery. Even under the summer sun, standing in the tree's shade brings a refreshingly cool feeling, offering the kind of quiet time unique to a mountain village. It's also a great spot for nature observation, letting you and your children experience the tree's scale firsthand.

Tips

The route passes through residential roads within the settlement, so please observe quietly and be mindful of manners. Parking space is limited, so please share it courteously with others.

Best time to visit

About 40 minutes. Daytime hours, when the tree's shade is cool, are recommended
