The vast Ugaoka Quercus forest is designated as a national natural monument under the name "Hazu Shrine Forest." Hazu Shrine is famous for its energy that promotes good relationships. The 800-meter path that runs through the forest is nicknamed the "Romantic Love Path," with dense Ugaoka Quercus trees creating a tunnel-like scenery that is very popular among worshippers.
