The Cedar Avenue of Nikkō, located in Nikkō, Japan, is renowned for being one of the longest tree-lined avenues in the world. This historic avenue stretches approximately 35 kilometers and is flanked by around 13,000 cedar trees, some of which are over 400 years old. The avenue was originally planted during the Edo period as a form of dedication to the deities enshrined in Nikkō's famous Toshogu Shrine. Visitors to the Cedar Avenue can enjoy a serene and picturesque walk beneath the towering trees, which provide a natural canopy and a sense of timeless beauty.
