I stopped by to receive the Goshuin of Arahei Tenjin. There is a cafe when you enter the building 😊Moving from inside the building to the schoolyard, we went to the famous treehouse that looks great on Instagram😆✨✨The weather was nice, so the view from the schoolyard was great, and the view from the tree house was also great😆I was soothed by the pleasant view of Sakurajima and Mt. Kaimondake 😊

This time I visited on a trip to Kagoshima.It looked like an ordinary elementary school from the outside, but inside it was like a fine hotel.The rooms are very nice and have a nice decor that is typical of both the school and the hotel.There is a projector in the audio-visual room, so it was nice to watch movies at night.There are books in the library, so my wife and I read nostalgic things like "Looking for Wally."It was also good that both rooms had very clean water facilities.The bathtub is also quite spacious, so I don't think it will be cramped even if you bathe with your child.We enjoyed a BBQ in the evening, but you can also prepare tents, so it's also very comfortable.After the BBQ, they prepared a bonfire, so we had a relaxing time watching the fire.I was able to experience the nostalgic memories of elementary school while being comfortable and had some very good memories.This time I happened to use this place for a different purpose, but I enjoyed it so much that I thought it would be a good idea to come on a trip just for this place next time.

We rented an outdoor campsite and camped in tents. The mornings and evenings are very cool and the scenery is spectacular. The sea is right there, so you can swim and fish, which is great. You can catch big fish by fishing from the shore. I think fishing people should be well prepared. The shower facilities were also very good. The facilities seem to be complete with barbecues, rooms for overnight stays, showers, cafes, bicycle rentals, kayaks, etc. The staff at the store are also very kind and make you feel comfortable.

I stayed in the staff room, and there are many things you can do on the premises, such as playing in the sea, using the gym, playing on the grounds, and fireworks, so it's highly recommended for families with children.And the fries you can buy at the shop in front of the front desk are quite delicious!
