A Walk Around Kyushu Day 32
Kagoshima to Ibusuki
Th August 1st, 2013
I get got a prepare out to the southern outskirts of Kagoshima together with caput off downwardly the primary road. I get got a room booked inwards Ibusuki this evening together with thus I get got a practiced distance to brand together with endeavour to encompass equally much equally I tin earlier the twenty-four hr current reaches its hottest part.
It's yet pretty built upward together with the traffic is heavy together with thus I don't aspect for interesting diversions such equally shrines together with simply focus on moving. I overstep past times the largest solar ability flora inwards Japan, amongst 290,000 solar panels roofing 1.27 ane G m foursquare meters, it volition generate lxx megawatts of power. From oculus degree aught tin live on seen. By lunchtime I attain Miyagahama together with tin acquire out the primary route together with caput inland a piffling to temple 47, Komyoji.
When I become far I discovery scaffolding covered inwards bluish tarps equally the primary hall is inwards the middle of beingness rebuilt. The priest together with his married adult woman invite me inwards to the air conditioned edifice that temporarily houses the altar together with statue.
They ply me amongst fruit together with mutual coldness drinks together with give me to a greater extent than of both to get got amongst me. Back at the primary route I caput off circular the headland rather than get got the instantly route into Ibusuki. The coast route has numerous love hotels amongst names similar Hotel Singapore together with Hotel Hong Kong. At the tip of the headland I consider what I had hoped for, Chiringa Island, a pocket-size isle that for a few hours a twenty-four hr current for simply a few months a yr is accessible past times a sandbar revealed at depression tide.
I get got arrived at an opportune 2nd equally the sandbar is visible together with I run across a distich of older gentlemen who get got simply walked dorsum from the island. The tide is ascension together with thus I can't get got the run a endangerment of going out myself. From hither into downtown Ibusuki the coast is covered amongst upscale resort hotels.
In the grounds of ane is The Satsuma Denshokan, a huge museum devoted to Satsuma ware, the highly decorative ceramics that became real pop inwards Europe inwards the latter one-half of the 19th century.
Like most of the "Japanese" ceramic types, it was created past times Korean potters brought dorsum from Toyotomi Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea. I am pleased to larn that inwards one-half the museum photography is allowed.
On my agency to the museum I spied a curved metallic element roof of some form glinting inwards the distance, together with thus I headed off to investigate together with was amazed past times what I found.
Looking similar something from a SF manga, it is the Nanohanakan, a sports complex for the elderly. There were huge indoor gateball courts, indoor swimming pools, together with fifty-fifty a residential complex. They were expecting senior citizens to come upward hither from other parts of Japan.
Like together with thus many of these white elephants, the reality did non jibe the pre-bubble dream, together with at nowadays most structures are locked together with empty. I pass nearly an hr literally rushing some trying to acquire equally many practiced shots equally I can.
By the fourth dimension I'm finished its tardily afternoon together with in that place is yet a few kilometers to become to my minshuku, together with thus I make upward one's bespeak heed to get got a brusque motorbus ride. I acquire on the motorbus together with become to my wallet to acquire the fare make for when I acquire off and, horror of horrors, I can't discovery my wallet. I never lose my wallet, literally never.
The final fourth dimension I saw it was nearly ii hours agone when I bought a potable from a vending auto on my agency hither from the Denshokan. With adrenaline surging I rapidly hop off the motorbus together with outset to retrace my steps some the sports complex. I don’t discovery my wallet, together with thus I outset to walk dorsum towards the Denshokan, eyes scanning the the world inwards forepart of me.
At the vending auto my wallet is simply sitting in that place on the wall. In all likelihood in that place has been no-one walking past times it equally it is a real tranquillity route together with no-one is out together with nearly inwards the heat. I trudge piece of cake dorsum to the motorbus halt together with select grip of the side past times side motorbus into the station together with walk to my room. It has been a long, hot day, made fifty-fifty to a greater extent than tiring past times the adrenaline together with rushing some looking for my wallet.
