Lower branches are high, chest height trunk circumference 2.6m

It is located on a hill at the site of Yakuma Castle, across the prefectural road from Edanomiya Hachiman Shrine. Since Chinese oaks were cut down to be used as raw materials for cork and other products, very few large trees remain, and this large Chinese oak has escaped cutting despite its excellent timber. It is one of the giant trees among the large Chinese oaks known to date. It has a circumference of about 3m around the base, a circumference of about 2.6m at the trunk, and a height of about 30m.
