Yesterday we went to Chiran, this is an old Samurai city near Kagoshima.
This is a small village but beautiful, with nice streets with no cars.
there you visit the houses of 7 samurais.
Actually you visit their gardens
they have really nice one, with old doors and houses
and the garden are supposed to represent the mountains around,
to bring some peaceful feeling, and this is really the case!
You have also a lot of butterflies there
and an old samurai armor
and me very scary no????
I really like the place, very quiet, not so much tourists, great weather, what else do you want???
Oh I want something else, a cute dog???
no, no...
some great food. And we found a very nice small restaurant of okonomiyake!
That's the owner, he has done our lunch with a lot of love and the food was excellent!!!
After that direction Ibusuki, we have been already there, but I like it very much. Why???
because I look great in this yukata?, well no...
it's because you do sand bath there!
15 minutes buried in very hot sand, you sweat like crazy
but after you feel great or dead
so much sand!
all these dead people very scary ...
and after that a foot bath of course! But his one was so hot, I barely could put my feet in it!!!
Today we went to Chikoku and for the first time of the year I swam in the sea:-) But a killer nori burned me there, hopefully I survived!!!
nice view from the place!
Now I'm hungry (because of the killer nori maybe)!
