A large ginkgo that feels like it coexists with guardian of children and travelers rather than the precincts of Tsukudatendaiko Ikuchizoson, which is familiar to locals. Do you know exactly the trunk, altitude, and age around the tree? Even if you measure around the trunk, it is impossible because the enclosure is tightly made.
One day, a local guide was told on TV that it was 350 years old, so I came up with it. Tsukuda Island was created in the Edo Tokyo Encyclopedia in 1645 (Shobo 2), so ginkgo was planted almost at the same time. For what purpose did fishermen at that time grow ginkgo on Kojima in 100 square squares? About 150 years later, when you look at the pictures of Hiroshige and Hokusai in Tsukuda, it looks like a small island but green trees are growing. Isn't it a small island, but fishermen planted a lot of seedlings to want greenery? If only this ginkgo remained to date, it would have lived with local culture and tradition. It's a natural monument. However, I heard that it is very difficult to determine the age of the tree. Do you know any more about it? In Tokyo, ginkgo, which is estimated to be 800 years old, is still growing lush at Kofukuji Temple in Shinagawa.
