大王杉


大王杉は、屋久島で最大、最古の屋久杉の1つです。この巨木は、高さ24.7メートル、周囲11.1メートル、推定樹齢約3000年です。有名な縄文杉が発見されるまでは、大王杉は島にあるこの種の木の中で最も古く、最大だと考えられており、そのため、大王杉と名付けられました。残念ながら、現在、大王杉は外側から空洞の一部が見え、もはや最高の状態ではありません。しかし、展望デッキからしか見ることができない縄文杉と違って、大王杉はそばに行って、近くから見上げることができます。大王杉は、大株歩道沿い、縄文杉のすぐそばにあります。荒川登山口から続く道の延長にあります。ウィルソン株もこの道沿いにあります。

Daio Sugi (Great King Sugi)


Daio Sugi (Great King Sugi) is one of the largest and oldest yakusugi trees on Yakushima. The enormous tree is 24.7 m tall, has a circumference of 11.1 m, and is thought to be about three thousand years old. Before the discovery of the monumental Jomon Sugi, Daio Sugi was considered to be the oldest and largest of its kind on the island, and so was named the Great King. Unfortunately, with parts of its hollow visible from the outside, Daio Sugi is no longer in its best condition. However, unlike Jomon Sugi that can be seen only from an observatory, it is possible to approach Daio Sugi and view the tree up close.


Daio Sugi is located on the Okabu Trail close to Jomon Sugi. Okabu Trail is an extension of the trail that starts at the Arakawa Trail Entrance. Wilson’s Stump is also found along this trail.
