It is the most spectacular open-air bath that I hadn’t seen before. Healthy Land Tamatebako is a natural hot spring, where the guests can enjoy a magnificent view of sea and Mt. Kaimondake. You feel as if you were bathing in the middle of ocean, as your sight can be extended to the horizon.

Great view from the southernmost JR station of Japan. Too bad we went there on a rainy day that we could not enjoy the greatest scene.

With a breathtaking view of Mt. Kaimondake and fields of blossoming flowers on its banks, Lake Ikeda is a tranquil, scenic stopover for those travelling to or from Ibusuki. The panorama isn’t the only reason why people flock here, though; it’s also to maybe catch a glimpse of the elusive (and possibly mythical) Issie, Kagoshima’s very own Loch Ness Monster (Issie, Nessie, geddit?) While one is unlikely to encounter this remnant of a forgotten age, one CAN come face to face with another denizen of Ikeda’s depths - the giant eel. In fact, you can see some specimens on display across the road at Paradise Ikeda, a local goods-cum-food store. They’re easy to spot, held in large tanks right outside the washroom. Anyways, Lake Ikeda is great for a pleasant stroll, a nice run, or even a fun picnic. Most people I saw walked by the well-manicured banks after a quick visit to one of the many ice-cream stalls - ALWAYS get a seasonal/regional flavour because they’re uniquely delicious; we had Satsuma Purple Sweet Potato and original Sweet Potato, both of which were superb. It would have been sweeter if we’d gotten a sneak peak at Issie, but you can’t have everything right? Maybe you’ll be luckier; give Lake Ikeda a shot next time you’re in the neck of the woods. I know I will :p
