#tourist spot ⁣ "Japan's best stone steps" ⁣ Leaving the octagonal tunnel and heading towards Kirishima ⁣ I saw a sign that said "Japan's best stone steps" so I made a U-turn ⁣ It's called Shakain Misaka Promenade,⁣ and it seems that the best stone steps in Japan were built on Misaka, the main approach to the historic Shakain Temple (Izumi-cho, Yatsushiro City), which has a history of 1200 years. ⁣ There are a whopping 3333 stone steps! ⁣ I asked them to make a U-turn so that I could climb them, but⁣ My accommodation for the day was Kirishima Onsen♨️⁣ It took 3 hours round trip,⁣ and I had to give up because of the check-in time. ⁣ ⁣ I'd like to try it when the weather is nice⛰⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🗾Sakamoto, Misato-machi, Shimomashiki-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture ⁣ 📍 Shakain Misaka Promenade⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Kumamoto⁣ #Misato-machi⁣ #Shakain Misaka Promenade⁣ #Japan's tallest stone steps⁣

#PhotogenicSpot "Hakaku Tunnel" From Futamata Bridge to Hakkaku Tunnel I went there in mid-March 2023. One of the remains of the Kumanobu Railway, which was closed in 1964. It connected Minami-Kumamoto Station to Toyo Station in Toyo-cho, Shimomashiki District (now Misato Town) 🚂 It's about a 5-minute walk from Hakkaku Tunnel to Futamata Bridge, so if you're going to both, the parking lot near Hakkaku Tunnel is larger. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🗾Kumu, Misato-machi, Shimomashiki-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture⁣ 📍Kumanobu Railway Remains: Octagonal Tunnel⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Kumamoto⁣ #Misato-machi⁣ #Futamata Bridge⁣ #Octagonal Tunnel⁣ #Kumanobu Railway⁣

#tourist spot "Futamata Bridge" While staring at the weather forecast, I've always wanted to go to Futamata Bridge in Misato-cho, Kumamoto Prefecture, which has also been selected as a "sacred place for lovers." November to March, 11:00-12:00 The sunlight shining under the bridge creates a heart shape. Arrived around 10:30 on March 13th I could see it🫶🏻💕︎︎ The photo taken around 11:10 is pic⁣7 When we went there, there was repair work going on, so we had to take a detour, but it seems to have been completed by March 24th. It's about a 5-minute walk to the Hakkaku Tunnel, so if you're going to both, the parking lot near the Hakkaku Tunnel is larger. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🗾105-2 Samata, Misato-machi, Shimomashiki-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture ⁣ 📍Lovers' Sanctuary at Futamata Bridge⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Kumamoto⁣ #Misato-machi⁣ #Futamata Bridge⁣ #Lovers' Sanctuary⁣
