The Great Akagi Trees of Kinjo Historic site
Kinjocho / Stone-Paved Road area
A grove of massive Akagi (Bischofia javanica) trees standing within the grounds of Uchikanagusuku-take, a sacred site just off the Kinjocho stone-paved road. The largest is estimated at over 200 years old and is designated a national natural monument. Step just a few paces off the bustle of the stone-paved road and you're wrapped in cool shade and a sense of sacred stillness.
