The well-known natural attraction "Parent and Child Tree" in Biei, Hokkaido, had one of its trees collapse in early October due to strong winds, causing the iconic image of a parent and child to disappear, leaving only the two large trees representing father and mother.

The name "Parent and Child Tree" comes from the three trees lined up together, which from their appearance consist of two large and one small tree. The smaller middle tree is called the child tree (子供の树), representing the child, while the two larger trees symbolize the father and mother. They form a unique landscape on the hillside and have been a popular spot for many visitors and photographers. Now, with the loss of the child tree, the iconic image of the parent and child is gone.
