大川杉 - Gose

It is popular with the locals, and the annual event to hold a long rope continues on the last Sunday of July.

Prefecture designated natural monument, Okawa cedar (Nishisami, Gosho City) Okawa cedar is an old large tree with a height of 24m and an age of about 450 years on the site of the Okawa Shrine. Okawa Shrine in Nishisami, Gosho City is one of the shrines of Shikinaisha and Okura Hiei Shrine. Since Okura Hiei is another name for Shimojo Hiei, it may be worthy of being close to Takagamo Shrine, which enshrines the brother of Shisho Hiei, Takahikone Miso. In addition, there is an opinion that the festival god is Mizugami, Takahata, and Elephant Elephant (Miyato Nino). Since this area is the source of the Katsuragi River, which flows down to the Nara Basin, and the Kitagawa River, which flows down to the Gojo and Yoshino Rivers, it is reasonable to enshrine water gods here. In addition, Yamashiro Kamo's original god before moving from Katsuragi. In other words, it might be interesting to think of it as a festival deity before the transition to the Mikage Takahikone deity. This is because there is Okawasugi and Okawa Shrine on the extension line from the Wakagami / Wakigami Kamo Tonami Shrine through the Kanami Sanmuroyama and Emperor Takaaki Emperor's Tomb. -Would you like to think that Kifune Shrine is on the same line and that Mr. Kamo moved while maintaining his ritual form? (The Emperor Takaaki and Kamo Tonami Shrine are on the extension of the first image) #Okawasugi #Nara Prefectural Natural Monument #gosegraph #Nara Prefectural Landscape Asset #nara_landscape_heritage #Takamo Shrine @ Gose, Nara

The shooting footage was bad and I was shooting from the road. I need more maintenance. But it was good.

"Road of Katsuragi (Kuzuki) / Road of Manyo" Vol. Okawa cedar (too cute) At the foot of Kongo west of here, there is a "Senen cedar", and here is "Okawa cedar". There must be a reason that these people have been worshiped by the people of Yamato as "the cedar where the god dwells", just like the "Kamisugi of the Furudome" written on the Manyo of that Ishigami Jingu Shrine, I stopped there for a while in awe.

Is this a hidden power spot? I got a lot of power ?? By the way, there is a course that goes through the life path of the village (it is a steep slope) to come here. Take on the challenge with a bicycle ?‍♂️?, you'll get more power ?✌️

It is a natural monument that is 600 years old, has a height of 30m, and has a trunk circumference of 7.3m. It feels like you have the power of life. There is Takakamo Shrine nearby, but I think it's a big tree with this shrine.

2021.09 Shinboku, a sacred tree that sits behind bamboo grove and weeds, has an overwhelming presence when viewed from a close distance ❗

Okawasugi has an overwhelming presence, and it was a gentle but powerful power that felt the strength of life energy, which may have been cherished by the people of the village.
