My trip lead me from the capital Fukuoka in the north, over the largest crater in the world – Aso until the very south Ibuski famous for the sand onsen where you feel like enjoying you last moment in life – buried alive ;-)
Mount Aso ( Aso-san) is an active volcano in the center of Kyushu. Its ancient caldera ranks among the world's largest, with a diameter of up to 26 kilometers and a circumference of more than 100 kilometers
The huge caldera contains the entire town of Aso and several volcanic peaks, including Nakadake, whose spectacular, active crater is easily accessible to tourists by toll road or ropeway.
Heading south the Kagoshima you can visit the Kirishima Shinto Shrine
A gorgeous red shrine deifies "Ninigi-no-mikoto", called the leader in the legend. Chinese infuenced shrine with red lacqar and relief on the decoration. The shrine was originally built on the top of Mt. Takachiho around the 6 century . The gate of the shrine which was built in 1988 is the biggest shrine gate in the Western Japan.

The trip concluded with a visit to the famous IBUSKI sand bath
which is very unusual throughout the entire world. Bury yourself in the sand comfortably, and have some snooze with a sound of the sea.... After burried in the sand, you can take a bath in big bathhouse, wash off the sand and refresh like... a baby!
