Day 1: Myoken Ishiharaso ~ Kirishima Shrine ~ Sheraton Kagoshima Day 2: Chiran Samurai Residences ~ Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots ~ Kamafuta Shrine (Shitahoe Hyozu Shrine) [Recommended Spots] 1. Myoken Ishiharaso ♨ The fresh hot spring water straight from the source has a slightly thick texture, warming your body after just a short soak 💛. Rich in beauty-enhancing ingredients and highly moisturizing, it’s known as "Bijin no Yu" (Hot Spring for Beautiful Skin) 💞. The open-air bath with a river flowing right in front of you offers an unparalleled sense of freedom! 2. Kirishima Shrine ⛩️ Nestled in lush greenery, Kirishima Shrine purifies your soul just by visiting ✨. 3. Chiran Samurai Residences 🌿 Known as "Little Kyoto of Satsuma," the samurai residence area feels like stepping back in time! The beautifully maintained gardens are also a highlight. 4. Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots 🛩️ Letters written by kamikaze pilots before their missions are on display. It’s a place everyone should visit at least once 😌. 5. Kamafuta Shrine (Shitahoe Hyozu Shrine) ⛩️ A unique shrine famous for its "Kamafuta Wish Challenge," where you balance a pot lid on your head and walk from the torii gate to the main hall without dropping it to have your wish granted. Definitely give it a try! By the way, I succeeded 😎! [Recommended Cuisine] 1.
