There are about 3 million camellias growing wild on Oshima.
Because Oshima has soil which contains volcanic ash and has good drainage, it is a good environment for camellias to grow in. That is why camellias are grown all around and you are able to see them almost any time you take a short walk. This page introduces especially famous camellia locations!
