Hey everyone!

I love japanese maples and during my trip to Japan i would like to visit some ancient japanese maples.

I found out that the 800 year old momiji near Kyoto was cut down in june 2023. :( Stood for over 800 years and I miss it for a year…

For now I found

  1. a 600 year old momiji in Saizen-ji, Saitama prefecture, north of Tokio, and
  2. the famous Nakakamado weeping maple tree in Fukushima, which is a national treasure.

Does anyone know any other ancient momiji?

Or perhaps is there any online database of such national treasures, which I could search myself?

Thank you!
