Kaimon Sanroku Koryoen Hana to Kaori no Mise
This herb plantation, Japan's first, was established in 1941. Located in the foothills of Mt. Kaimon, it grows dozens of varieties of herbs including some 10,000 Hosho camphor trees. The Hosho essential oil for which the plantation is best known is extracted from the leaves of a subvariety of camphor tree with strong sedative effects. During its heyday, the plant was grown all over the Nansatsu region, which is said to have produced enough leaves to extract five tons of essential oil. The oil is popular for its refreshingly sweet forest scent. The plantation features a shop that sells herbal teas, fragrances, and other items as well as a cafe that serves seasonal herbal teas.
