    [From Yoka Guide] ~ Thinking back to this day 79 years ago ~

    The hot days continue, how are you all doing? It's been hot in Kagoshima since morning... but when I watched the national weather forecast on TV, the temperature in Kagoshima today was lower than in Fukuoka and Kansai... is that really true!? But it's still hot all over the country. Everyone, please be careful of heatstroke.

    Well, there is a report that has been attracting attention since yesterday. A statement by table tennis player Hayata Hina, who also performed very well at the Paris Olympics. When asked what she wanted to do now, she said that she wanted to go to the Anpanman Museum and the Kagoshima Kamikaze Museum. Many of you may have already seen it on the news.

    In fact, there are three facilities related to the kamikaze attacks in Kagoshima. Among them, the one that is well known even to people living outside the prefecture is the "Chiran Peace Museum" in Minamikyushu City. I covered it a long time ago, and I couldn't stop crying the whole time (although I should have stayed calm while I was working...).
    It's a must-see tourist spot, introduced in the limited space of the "Yoka Guide Kagoshima" tourist book (free paper). When people ask me "What are some recommended tourist spots in Kagoshima?" I make sure to tell them "You must visit this place!!" I hope that Hayata will encourage more people to visit.

    If you have a copy of the free paper version of "Yoka Guide," I would like you to read the article, but the information is also available on the "Yoka Guide" website, so please take a look (sorry it's not a direct link though...(._.))

    #Chiran Special Attack Peace Hall
    https://yokaguide.com/minami_kyushu/1725.html

    The other two kamikaze-related facilities are located in Bansei, Minamisatsuma City, and Kanoya City. If you are traveling by car, I think it is easy to approach from Chiran. If you have the opportunity, please stop by.

    You can get to Chiran by bus from Kagoshima Chuo Station or Kagoshima Airport, but it may be easier to travel by car (rental car). It takes about an hour and a half by car from Kagoshima city, depending on the time of day. However, please note that congestion and traffic jams are expected during the peak tourist season.

    Additionally, for everyone living in eastern Japan in particular, please be aware that as of the 15th, a typhoon is approaching.
