◆Heavenly Iwato◆
At the end of the cool air, there is a cave with a legend that Amaterasu Omikami hid to warn the evils of his younger brother, Susanoo. Shimizu, which springs out of the rock hole, is certified as one of the "100 Best Waters".
On the path of Tenno Iwato, there is a single cherry tree called Oshimazakura "Iwato Sakura", which is over 360 years old, and in the spring, pure white flowers bloom with young leaves.
In addition, Kokichi Mikimoto, who was called Pearl King, donated the cost of maintaining the approach to Tenno Iwato and hand-planted Kusu to commemorate its completion. This Kusu grew up at ease in front of the worship hall and is named "Mikimoto Kusu".

◆Miya River Wataikai Park◆
In Miya River Wataikai Park, there is a sidewalk lined with cherry blossom trees named "Kawazu Road".
