Windproof forest

Original Text

There is a magnificent line of Akou trees along the northern coast of Sakurajima and along the island's roundabout road. The location is right across the road from the sea, and it was originally planted to protect the house from wind and tide, but now it is designated as a natural monument. It's a plant that I don't see in my hometown (Aichi), and I feel like I've come to a warm area in the south. When driving Sakurajima, why not stop by if you have time?
