Huge stump of a Japanese cedar that was felled around 1650. From the outside it looks like a hobbit cave.
The hollow stump is walkable. Inside is a miniature shrine. If you sit on the small stool, the upper opening looks like a large heart...

While the heart-shaped ceiling is a popular photo motif on social media today, the original wood comes from cedars over 2000 years old. It is said to have been used as building material for the Great Buddha Hall in Kyoto over 400 years ago.
