初春の九州ツーリング最終回　鹿児島→金沢　~指宿温泉、桜島、佐多岬~ 【CB250R】

Good morning, everyone. Today’s breakfast. It was great that the Co-op sold so many Kyushu-inspired items… Now, it’s time to depart Kaikatsu for our final day in Kyushu . Good morning again. Today is my final day in Kyushu. I left the Kaikatsu Club in Kagoshima City and headed south to Ibusuki. After returning, I headed south via Sakurajima, Cape Sata, and Shibushi Port, where the ferry to Osaka departs. I hadn’t originally planned to go to Ibusuki, but since I’d only had a shower for four days and I figured I could make the ferry if I tried, I squeezed it in. There were no highway shortcuts, so it was a pretty tight schedule, but I really wanted to make the ferry… So I headed south on Route 226. The sunrise at Kagoshima Bay was beautiful, but… Perhaps I was in a hurry, so I didn’t remember much about the scenery today. It was only when I was editing that I realized, “Oh, so that’s what it was like…” About 70 minutes after departure, I arrived at Ibusuki Onsen. I was looking forward to my first sand bath, so I arrived at Sunaraku Sand Bath Hall. The parking lot is supposed to be a right turn here, but I passed it, so I made a U-turn and entered. I parked my motorcycle and headed to the sand bath. Let’s go ! It was amazing! I managed to get out in an hour, but if I wanted to relax, I’d need two. It was a shame to leave, but I had to hurry on to the next stop. As I was leaving the parking lot, I bumped into an older man who had come from Kanazawa in a minivan. He said he’d been traveling for months , traveling around the country in his own car. Meeting someone from Kanazawa in an unexpected place is one of the joys of traveling, after all… After Ibusuki, my next destination was Sakurajima. I retraced my steps and headed north, heading to Sakurajima from the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal at Kagoshima Port. Thank you, Ibusuki Onsen. I drove along Kagoshima Bay again , admiring the rows of palm trees . It was past 10 o’clock, about halfway between Kagoshima and Ibusuki. I really wanted to catch the 11:20 AM ferry… but there are three ferries per hour, so missing it wouldn’t be too much of a blow. As expected, the Sakurajima Ferry operates 24 hours a day! After about 40 minutes of riding, I arrived in time, just before the terminal in Kagoshima City. Around this point, my camera started acting up, so I couldn’t capture the essential boarding scene… so I’ll restart with footage from inside the ferry. Even though the boarding time was only about 15 minutes, I couldn’t resist ordering udon… the broth was amazing… and before I knew it, we’d arrived at Sakurajima. I quickly got ready and disembarked. I’d pat myself on the back for repairing my SD card and finishing my udon in such a short time… so, it was time to land on Sakurajima! From the Kagoshima side, the fare is payable after the ride. It’s 730 yen for one adult and a bike. I’m desperately needing a side bag… Now that I’ve arrived at Sakurajima, my next destination is the other side of the island, the Kurokami Buried Torii. This is the famous torii gate that was buried by the eruption. I’d heard that Sakurajima’s roads were quite slippery due to volcanic ash, but today the ash was much lighter and easier to ride. With an active volcano on my left and Kagoshima Bay on my right, I could really feel the vitality of the earth, and it was a very enjoyable ride. I considered taking the Kagoshima-Tarumi ferry to see Sakurajima from the sea, but riding this way proved to be the right decision. So, I rode to the other side of the island and arrived at the Kurokami Buried Torii. Kurokami Shrine was buried under pumice and other debris during the massive Sakurajima eruption in 1914, leaving only the bamboo stalks visible from the once-3-meter-tall torii gate. At the request of the village mayor at the time, the torii gate was not excavated, and it remains a reminder of the threat of an eruption to this day. I didn’t expect much volcanic ash today, but there was quite a bit of it on my tires, so I knew I had to be careful. So, I left the Kurokami Buried Torii and headed for the Kagoshima mainland. My next destination was Cape Sata, the southernmost point of the mainland. This will be our last sightseeing spot in Kyushu… Our Kyushu tour, which lasted just under a week, is finally coming to an end… I cross the bridge feeling sentimental, but if I continue on this road, I’ll end up heading north… Let’s make a U-turn and head for Cape Sata! The ferry time is fast approaching, but I’ll be happy that I’ve crossed the shining white Ushino Bridge twice… From here, I head south along the west coast of the Osumi Peninsula. After driving about 30 minutes from Sakurajima, I pass Sugawara Shrine. I really want to stop there, but for now I’m just heading for the southernmost point… I keep driving… and see the Cape Sata sign! I get excited, but it’s still 40km away… So I keep driving… looking at the sea, crossing the mountains… and after about 50 minutes I arrive at the gate of Cape Sata. Having come this far, I’m just a little bit closer to the southernmost point of the mainland… The vegetation is completely different around here, close to the southernmost point… It’s the first time I’ve seen those hanging trees, and I’m excited! We left the jungle (?) and saw a beautiful ocean on our left… but if you look away, be careful of the sand… The long journey to Cape Sata is finally here, with only 1km left! It was a struggle to get here, but it turns out it’s a surprisingly popular spot… so let’s park our bikes and take a look! It’s well maintained, but what really catches our eye is this banyan tree… it’s impressive… so let’s take a look at the ocean from the southernmost point… Actually, the true southernmost point and lighthouse are a little further ahead, but we’d be short on time… This is our final destination, Cape Sata… We’ve come a long way from Kanazawa… I feel a great sense of accomplishment, but at the same time, I’m sad that our tour is coming to an end, but I’m really glad we made it this far safely. Shall we go home with a certificate of reaching the southernmost point? Well, we got the certificate! That ‘s great… Now, the ferry time is fast approaching, so let’s hurry to Shibushi Port! The deadline is 4:55 PM, one hour before the ferry departs. The navigation system says it’s two hours from here, which is quite dangerous if you include stopping for groceries… There’s no highway, so I just have to keep going… As you can see from the time above, I only had 15 minutes at Cape Sata… Maybe today’s itinerary was too tight after all… Thinking this, I head back the way I came. Next time I visit Kyushu, I’d like to plan a trip with plenty of time to take detours… And so I drove… After about an hour and 50 minutes, I arrived just before Shibushi Port. It looks like I’ll have enough time to do some groceries at a nearby supermarket. I’m so glad I made it in time… So I went to Super Center Nishimuta Shibushi branch to do some groceries. I was a little tired after two hours of driving… But I managed to get enough food for tonight and tomorrow’s breakfast. Let’s head to Shibushi Port! It’s about five minutes from here, so it’s just right. Shibushi, Shibushi-cho, Shibushi City… It seems unbelievable, but the place name is really like that… And so I arrived at the ferry terminal. It’s a relief to see that the ferry hasn’t departed yet… Let’s park our bikes and wait a bit until boarding… and so it’s time to board. As usual, we were late getting ready, but let’s get on board! We enter the ship via a short ramp. We wait our turn and park. After securing my bike, I headed up to my cabin. Thank you for the hard work, driver… This is what the inside of the ship looked like. It’s quite luxurious… Although the cabins are of different grades, it’s definitely worth the price, considering it’s twice the price of the ferry we took out… This time, my room was a semi-private type. A locked corridor leads to a row of rooms separated by curtains. While not completely private, it’s the most luxurious one yet, with all the extras… Let’s go up on deck. It’s finally time to say goodbye to Kyushu… Five days flew by… I’d definitely like to come back… It feels strange to set sail while it’s still light out, but I took a short break… Thank you for the hard work… Good morning. I slept well in my private room, and before I knew it, we were at Osaka Port. Saying goodbye to this ship. And then we landed on Honshu. We’re back… Since we’ve come all this way, I’ll stop by Kyoto for some sightseeing before heading back to Kanazawa. I somehow managed to get onto the incredibly complicated Hanshin Expressway… passing Osaka Castle… and entering Kyoto Prefecture. And then… Ryoanji Temple, a place I’ve always wanted to visit. It was a very beautiful place, but I was the only Japanese person there, so I was a bit worried… I headed home after admiring the beautiful plum blossoms. After that, I continued riding, going through Shiga Prefecture, Fukui Prefecture, and Ishikawa. So, I arrived safely in Kanazawa City. This is the end of the Kyushu Touring video. Thank you for watching for so long. See you in the next video. Bye ~
