Kawatana no Kusu no Mori (The Camphor Forest of Kawatana)
Camphor Tree (Cinnamomum camphora). over 1,000 years. Free, publicly viewable. Reached in about 10 minutes by taxi/car from Kawatana Onsen Station (JR San-in Main Line), or about 20-30 minutes by car from the Chugoku Expressway (Kozuki IC or Shimonoseki IC). No fee or set hours found on the official tourism pages. Note the tree has been fenced/cordoned off around its base during its recovery, so visitors view it from a short distance rather than approach the trunk closely.
