Of course it posted the picture up-side down. Anyone know if I can edit this and correct the direction?

Im no tree expert, but if its japan, it might be a camphor tree ? The way the branchs are angled looks similar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camphora_officinarum

Certain [camphor] trees in Japan are considered sacred. An example of the importance of a sacred tree is the 700-year old camphor growing in the middle of Kayashima Station. Locals protested against moving the tree when the railway station had to be expanded, so the station was built around
