Fri August 2nd, 2013

I caput off from Ibusuki equally the Sun only rises higher upwardly the horizon as well as bathes the province inwards gold. The route at start heads upwardly a gentle but long gradient as well as equally it tops out it turns as well as faces due west inwards the distance I larn my start glimpse of the landmark that volition dominate the day, Mount Kaimondake.

Almost perfectly conical, the 924 meter high volcano is for obvious reasons known equally the Fuji of Satsuma, as well as though it is non that high, its position, all solitary at the border of the sea, makes it quite dramatic.

I had toyed alongside the thought of climbing it as well as sleeping out on top, expecting that the sunset as well as sunrise views would live on awesome, but inwards the halt decided that a 900 meter climb alongside heavy pack inwards the rut of the summertime would live on a cost likewise high to pay.

At Nishioyama I induce got a pocket-size detour off the route to see Nishioyama Station, the southernmost railway station inwards Japan. In English linguistic communication nosotros would telephone shout out upwardly it a halt, non a station, equally at that topographic point are no buildings, but across the street is a pocket-size store which sells souvenirs, including postcards that tin give notice live on posted inwards the brilliant yellowish postbox.

It is surprisingly busy considering at that topographic point are alone a handful of trains a day, While I'm sitting inwards the shade enjoying a cool quaff one-half a dozen cars plow upwardly as well as the visitors pass a few minutes having their photograph taken against the station sign earlier heading off to their side past times side sight.

It's also the southernmost indicate of my walk some Kyushu. Not nonetheless halfway inwards distance to cover, but a milestone nonetheless. I induce got walked downwards the eastern side, as well as straightaway I must caput upwardly the western coast, which is much to a greater extent than convoluted as well as wiggly.

By early on afternoon I accomplish the town of Kaimon, equally unopen equally I'm going to larn to the mount itself. I caput to Hirasaki Shrine, a grouping of vermillion buildings within a nighttime grove of old, tall trees. This was the highest ranked shrine inwards Satsuma Province, the Ichinomiya, as well as the shrine is dedicated to Amaterasu, the Sun goddess, which is genuinely form of unusual.

Though modern Shinto claims Amaterasu to live on the highest of all the kami, at that topographic point are genuinely rattling few shrines to her, her pre-eminence beingness a modern thought nurtured inwards the pre-war State Shinto. The shrine has a treasure identify as well as I am delighted to expose a big collection of old, wooden masks. In i of the shrines ancillary buildings I tin give notice meet more, newer masks, as well as I inquire the priest inwards the room who is inwards the room changing into robes for a ceremony if I tin give notice come upwardly inwards a photograph them. He agrees.

From hither the coast route turns as well as heads northward as well as therefore I induce got Kaimondake at my back. By belatedly afternoon I brand it inwards Ei where I induce got a room booked at a invitee house. I am the alone guest. After a alter of wearing clothing as well as an hr of air conditioning I purchase some beers as well as caput downwards the the beach to sentinel the sunset. The heaven is cloudless, but downwards at the halt of the province Kaimondake is capped alongside a unmarried cloud, draped over the summit.
