The grounds are planted with cherry trees in various places memorializing the kamikaze fighters which took off from an airfield in the area and the picturesque trees near the park entrance have even been used to film a movie scene.

- Kagoshima Minamikyushu-shi Kawanabecho Miya 4778 Iigura Jinja Shikiji
- This large camphor tree standing next to the torii gate of Iikura Shrine is said to be some 1,200 years old. 13 meters tall and 25 meters in circumference at the base, the tree is the third largest camphor tree in the prefecture after the Kamo no Okusu and the Shibushi no Okusu. A large hollow equal in size to a six tatami mat room (roughly 11 square meters) has formed in the trunk. In spite of this, the tree's branches grow thick with leaves and the tree itself is beautifully formed, and it has been designated a Natural Monument by the prefecture.

Kagoshima Areas
Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
