Kagoshima Oshima-gun Setouchicho Seso 742-39

加計呂麻島の表玄関、瀬相港にたつ市場。土産物だけでなく、村人相手の野菜なども売っている。サーターアンダギーもあったが、たぶん島のおばぁが手作りで出品しているものではなかろうか（裏の商品説明の紙には個人名もあった）。また島みかんは温州ミカンのようだが種がいっぱい入っていたのがかえって新鮮。多くのものが島で作られたもののよう。パパイヤの漬物、にんにくのつけものなども購入。

Kagoshima Kumage-gun Yakushimacho Koseda 324-31

"This copper-roofed shop located next to Yakushima Airport specializes in Yakusugi cedar woodcrafts. It manufactures and sells works of Yakusugi cedar woodcraft, which has been designated as a traditional handicraft of Kagoshima. This handicraft leverages the natural beauty of Yakusugi cedar, which has long been revered as sacred by the people of Yakushima Island. Cutting down live Yakusugi cedar trees has been banned, so the vast majority of Yakusugi cedar used today comes from ""domaiboku,"" which refers to the stumps of trees felled during the Edo period. The shop exhibits chopsticks, accessories, plates, pots, and other woodcrafts that capitalize on the beautiful wood grain and the appealing decayed appearance of Yakusugi cedar. It is also possible to try your hand at carving a pair of chopsticks out of thousand-year-old Yakusugi cedar (age 11 and up)."
