This is one of the burial ground of the Mori clan who were headquartered in HAGI where the town layout has not changed largely from its feudal days. This stands on the premises of TOKOJI temple behind the main hall.
This camellia is different from those commonly seen in mountains. This tree was brought about when a Tokugawa princess married into the Mori clan in the 17th century.
