Famous places / spots recommended by locals
Sand steamed hot spring
A natural sand steamed hot spring, embedding the body into geothermally warmed sand, is unique in the world. After embedding for about 10 minutes, it warms up from the core of the body and sweat will gush out from the entire body. Why don't you heal your fatigue while enjoying the seascape?

Yakushima
Yakushima is a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. The highlight here is Yakusugi, an old Japanese cedar that is said to be over 2000 years old. It will be a hard mountain climbing for 5 hours one way, but even just a look at Yakusugi will blow away your fatigue.
