    At the corner of the forest, there is a Japanese Torreya called the “Tree of One Thousand Years” that is known as the ancestor of Japanese Torreyas. This tree is 14m high, with a branch length of 6m, and its width of crown is 15m. It is estimated to be more than 820 years old, which makes it the oldest Japanese Torreya in Jejudo Island. The Forest of Japanese Torreyas retains its leaves during the winter, so the forest stays green all throughout year. A substance called phytoncide emanates from the Forest of Japanese Torreyas. Phytoncide is known to have natural healing powers, such as helping blood circulation, alleviating mental and physical fatigue, and stabilizing biorhythm. There are two ways to exit the forest through the walking trail.
