Houkisugi or Hōkisugi at Nakagawa (箒スギ) is a 2000-year-old Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria) at Nakagawa Settlement, Yamakita town, Ashigarakami District, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The tree was revered by locals because it prevented a great fire from spreading in 1904. There is still visible fire damag

e on the tree. On July 12, 1972, it stopped a great landslide and lessened the damage during heavy rainfall in the Tanzawa Mountains. It was designated as a national Natural Monument on March 26, 1934.
