📍Aoshima, Miyazaki Prefecture Aoshima Shrine is a popular tourist spot in Miyazaki. The shrine is located in the center of Aoshima, where the entire island is said to be the shrine grounds, and you can visit by crossing the Yayoi Bridge that spans the island. I had a slightly different experience here than other shrines, so I will introduce it along with my experience. _ _ _ _ _ ⚫︎Aoshima Shrine Brings all kinds of harmony, including matchmaking, ties, safe childbirth, recovery from illness, safety in the home, and safety on the sea. ⚫︎Fee Free admission ⚫︎Opening hours 6:00 to sunset ⚫︎Access Train: 10 minutes walk from Aoshima Station _ _ _ _ _ Summer in Miyazaki felt particularly hot, but the torii gates standing against the blue sea and blue sky of summer are strangely fitting⛩️ Aoshima Shrine is popular for matchmaking, but it is said to connect all kinds of connections...so I prayed. And there is an interesting way to visit Aoshima Shrine that is different from other shrines. 〈How to visit〉 1. Before going to Aoshima Shrine, look for shells in the sand at the sandbar across Yayoi Bridge (if you can't find one, find a shell that you think is the one!) 2. Make a wish at the shrine at the end of the rainforest 3. Offer a shell All you need to do is have the desire to find it! With a little effort, you'll find it right away🔍✨ Please use this as a reference for your festival or trip to Aoshima Shrine🔖 #Miyazaki #MiyazakiTourism #MiyazakiTrip #AoshimaShrine #FreeHotelStay

I visited Iki Island in October. Although it was relatively warm, the strong winds made it feel chilly in just a T-shirt. We traveled to the island by jetfoil and returned by ferry due to bad weather. Within the island, my friend drove us around, so we didn't face any inconvenience. If you don't have a car, it's better to have a taxi or a rental car to explore the island at your own pace. We toured from the Saruiwa Rock in the west to the Harahoge Jizo in the east. We couldn't visit the northern part, so next time I would like to go to the Dolphin Park. The food was excellent, with sashimi, sea urchin rice, and Iki beef, and for drinks, there was barley shochu. I definitely want to visit again next year.

A superb hotel stay on the island of the gods 🏨 Iki Retreat Kairi Murakami was introduced in the "Michelin Guide Fukuoka, Saga, Nagasaki 2019 Special Edition" as a "5-pavilion inn" (a luxurious and top-class inn). On a sunny day, your stay begins with check-in while looking out at the sparkling blue sea. The lounge, which guests can use freely, offers drinks and snacks, making it a luxurious place to spend time. You can also see the beautiful sea from the open-air bath in the guest room, making it a luxurious space! All 15 rooms, over 40 square meters in size, are wonderful in 6 types, but this time I stayed in the Kairi Suite. The cypress open-air bath was amazing, so I definitely recommend you stay there! #AccommodationTravelRecord

#hotspring #secrethotung #high peak hotspring Japanese secret hot spring Gaofeng Hot Spring♨️ A hot spring hotel at an altitude of 2,000 meters. To visit, I drove along the East Forest Road on the north side, but due to recent heavy rains, rivers and cracks appeared on the road, making navigation quite difficult. It is recommended to go from the south. This is a quaint inn that blends in with nature and is a hotel of the Japan Secret Hot Spring Conservation Association. There are certain restrictions on bathing hours in the open-air bath, but bathing is highly recommended because the view is beautiful. This is a perfect hotel to relax and forget about time in the cloudy hot springs. #JapanTravel #JapanAttractions #JapanSecrets #Hot Springs

Kyushu Island is an outlying island in Nagasaki Prefecture. In addition to the island, there are 21 affiliated islands: 5 of them are inhabited and the remaining 16 are uninhabited islands. So, exploring the uninhabited islands seems to be a must-have experience. We took the speedboat and went from Bensheng Port to the uninhabited island "Chenzhi Island". The sky was clear that day, and the Japanese mysterious sea was like a shining pearl shining with blue light. The speedboat will slow down or stop at the necessary sightseeing spots. The captain will introduce the current scenery to you in Japanese. For example, this magnificent and magnificent cliff is formed by long-term erosion of sea water; there are people sitting there fishing leisurely. arrived at Chenzhi Island. There is no one else on the island except this one. This exquisite island exudes a bright autumn day. In addition to the faintly visible footprints of the sika deer running on the island, it is the breath of the sea; it is said that the summer of Chenzhi Island will be full of people, and many tourists will come here to swim in the sun. I am looking forward to another island in Chen in the summer.

Yeouido is an island in Nagasaki Prefecture of Kyushu. However, it is very close to Fukuoka and can be reached by an hour's boat ride from Hakata Port. This beautiful island is rich in beef. The yak is widely praised in Japan for its tender and delicious meat. The yak and the cattle are cultured by the sea. The special geographical environment and the completely unpolluted water and soil make the yam and beef quality fresh and sweet. Even the yak in the Kanto and Kinki areas are mostly from ; there are also well-known Kobe cattle breeders. In fact, it is from . There is only one saying that "yak" does not come out of "Yujima", so you have to eat authentic yak meat, or you have to go to the island. A boat coming from Hakata Port, after arriving at Lubian Port in Yeouido, there is a restaurant that eats yak meat at the port. The noodle steak set is also excellent in price, and the mouth of the full and fresh yak is delicate. Its really delicious and its not enough!
