    Kagoshima Ibusuki-shi Iwamoto
    The Imaizumi Shimazu family is one of the branches of the Shimazu clan created to assure its unbroken succession. This cemetery is the final resting place of the successive heads of the Imaizumi Shimazu family and their wives starting from its first head, Tadasato. You can feel the stately dignity of the feudal lords who ruled this land from the 14 graves and more than 100 stone lanterns that line the cemetery. The cemetery includes the graves of Atsuhime's father and older brother. No members of the Imaizumi Shimazu family have been interred here since the end of the Edo period.

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.
