Check out this amazing World First initiative. Two of the world’s oldest trees could help bring more Japanese visitors to New Zealand. The two trees - Waipoua Forest’s giant kauri Tane Mahuta and Jomon Sugi, a giant cedar on Yakushima Island off the coast of Japan - have brought the two countries closer in a ground-breaking ‘Family of Ancient Trees’ agreement that was signed in Northland. The agreement, much like a sister city relationship, will see the two trees promoted together in both countries.
