This large cedar tree is located in the Kosugi district of Sakegawa Village, and is a popular giant tree that is also known as the ``Totoro Tree'' because it looks like ``Totoro'' from the movie ``My Neighbor Totoro.'' A mountain god is enshrined at the base of the tree, and because the tree is divided at the base and stands tall, it is also known as the couple's cedar, the matchmaking tree, and the fertility tree, and is also known as a power spot.
In the Shinjo Ancient Memorandum, it is introduced as ``the large cedar of Magarigawa,'' and in the book, ``A lord of Shinjo went deer hunting deep in the mountains during the New Year, and suddenly there was a big snowstorm, so he In the past, there were two trees, but Lord Mogami Yoshimitsu had one cut and transported to Yamagata, but after that, bad things continued to happen to the village, and the village remained poor, so it remained. It is said that he petitioned the lord of Shinjo to never cut down this tree."
