Aioi-no-sugi, also known as the "Wedded Cedar Tree," is a unique natural wonder - it is a pair of cedar trees that have grown side by side, their trunks intertwined and fused together. This rare phenomenon has created a single, majestic tree with two distinct trunks, symbolizing unity and eternal love.

The legend says that this cedar tree represents a married couple, embodying the spirits of a man and a woman deeply in love. It is believed that praying to Aioi-no-sugi can bring good fortune and strengthen the bonds of relationships, particularly those of love and marriage.
