Amazing red pine

Original Text

It is a venerable temple that was founded around 1520 by the Shingon sect Chiyama school and moved to its current location around Genroku in 1690. It is said that the red pine and weeping cherry blossoms in the precincts were planted at the beginning of the relocation, and the tree is magnificent, over 300 years old. Two red pine trees were planted together, and the trunk was about 2m around the trunk, and the junction was about 3m, so the spread to the side was very magnificent and splendid.
