The breathtaking expanse of tall, straight cedars in Kitayama, located in the northwest of Kyoto, is a stunning view. Kitayama cedar, distinguished by its light hue, consistent thickness, and smooth, knot-free trunks, is highly valued in Japanese architecture for flooring and pillars. Additionally, daisugi cedars, trimmed to create multiple tree-like offshoots from a single trunk, are sought after in gardens for their beauty. Experience the charm of Kitayama cedar through the dedicated foresters who maintain and nurture these magnificent trees.
