Okina Sugi (Old Man Sugi)

Once gigantic and imposing, Okina Sugi, is thought to have lived for around 2000 years. It once stood at 23.7 m tall, but with its base unable to hold its heavy weight and around 90% of its inside hollowed out by decay, the tree collapsed in September 2010. Only the hollow stump, with a perimeter of 12.6 m, is left.

Okina Sugi can be found on the Okabu Trail that leads to Jomon Sugi. It takes about 30 minutes from the trail entrance to get there, and he sits around 200 m before Wilson’s Stump.
