Ring-Cupped Oak (Honkawa Elementary School)
The ring-cupped oak tree at Honkawa Elementary School was exposed to the bombing at a distance of 2,180 meters from the hypocenter. It survived the bombing in the yard of a residential house and leans in the opposite direction of the hypocenter as a result of the blast wind. It was replanted at Honkawa Elementary School in 2012, where it is cared for by the children.
Note: as this is a school, entry is prohibited without prior permission.
