A huge sotetsu tree

It is a street that is one back from the Dutch Shokan Street in Hirado, and this area is a trading mansion that was prosperous at that time, and the large sotetsu tree there still remains, and the branches are stretched in all directions. There are pillars supporting the trunk. It is a giant tree that makes you feel the flow of time and is powerful.

It's along the road.

There is nothing in particular, but it is a tourist spot that you can see while passing by by car. It was too big and it would collapse without support, so I supported it with a pillar. It is said that if you put an iron knuckle at the root of the large sotetsu, the toothache will heal, but if you do that, I'm sorry for the large sotetsu, so let's stop it.

It's quite scary.
