Take the Umi-san-san-san to visit Cape Horikiri (the Devil's Washboard) and Obi Castle

#1月好去地方2025 The Umi-Shin-Shin Train started operating on October 10, 2009, and runs one round-trip train per day between Miyazaki and Nango every Saturday and Sunday, as well as during the spring, summer, and winter holidays. The lady on the bus will explain the myth of Umiyuki and Yamayuki. Figures 1-4 are the Sea and Mountain Trains. Figure 4 shows the train hostess explaining the myth. Figure 5: The Devil's Washboard: You can see it from the car Figure 6: Obi Castle: The castle town (towns around the castle) that retains the traditional Japanese neighborhoods is known as Kyushu's Little Kyoto. After getting off at Haixing or Shanxing, you can take the bus and rent an electric bicycle to tour the city. Or take the JR Nichinan Line from Obi Station, about a 15-20 minute walk. The myth of Umiyuki and Yamayuki: Yamayuki and Umiyuki are two brothers, one is good at fishing and the other is good at hunting animals. Once, the two men were exchanging tools, and the younger brother Yamasachihiko lost his brother's fishing hook in the sea. Although he asked his brother for compensation, Umisachihiko was only willing to take back the original fishing hook. When his younger brother was crying on the seashore, the god gave him a small boat that could reach the bottom of the sea and the palace of the sea god Watatsumi. There, Yamasachihiko met Toyotama-hime, the daughter of the sea god. The two got married and spent three years in the kingdom of the sea god. With the help of the sea god, they retrieved the lost hook from the throat of one of the fish. The couple returned to land together and gave birth to a son, who later became the father of Emperor Jimmu. Therefore, later emperors can be said to be descendants of the sea god, making the Japanese true "people of the ocean."
