There is a natural primeval forest in the Ogasan Nature Reserve and there grows a yew in Mt Oga, which can be claimed to be the oldest tree.

The 1 100-odd-year old tree is 16.5 metres tall, 4.1 metres round at the root neck, 3.6 metres round at the chest height and about 7 metres wide at the crown.

It is the tallest and oldest tree among the yews in the country.
