The fig tree's countless roots spread across the rocky surface, growing as if embracing the rock itself. Its powerful life force and branches reaching towards the sky are overwhelmingly impressive. The park is home to approximately 20,000 camellia japonica trees, creating a sea of vibrant red flowers during the blooming season. A short walk from the Laputa tree leads to an observation deck offering panoramic views of the blue ocean below, allowing you to fully appreciate the beauty of Amakusa. Well-maintained stairs lead from the parking lot to the Laputa tree, making it accessible even for families with children.
