キタゴヨウ
この地域に生い茂るのは落葉樹ですが、中山半島や御倉半島など十和田湖周辺の岩場には、ゴヨウマツの変種にあたるキタゴヨウが自生しています。マツの種類は、葉束ごとの針葉の数で判別できる場合があります。キタゴヨウの葉束には針葉が何本あるでしょうか？ヒント：キタゴヨウは五葉松とも呼ばれています。
こちらの2本のキタゴヨウは、1921年（大正10年）に日本の皇族、雍仁親王（秩父宮）とその弟君、宣仁親王（高松宮）が十和田湖をご訪問されたことを記念して植えられた記念樹です。

Northern Japanese White Pine
Although this region is heavily covered in deciduous vegetation, the rocky areas around Lake Towada—including the Nakayama Peninsula and the Ogura Peninsula—are home to a northern variety of the Japanese white pine tree (kitagoyo). Different species of pine tree are partially identifiable by the number of needles in each bundle. Can you guess how many needles are in each bundle of the northern Japanese white pine? Here’s a hint: the tree is also called the “northern Japanese five-needle pine.”
The two pine trees in front of you commemorate the 1921 visit to Lake Towada by two Japanese imperial princes: Prince Yasuhito (also known as Chichibunomiya, or Prince Chichibu) and his younger brother Prince Nobuhito (also known as Takamatsunomiya, or Prince Takamatsu).
