    霧島神宮から南側を走る国道近くに向かうと、観光案内所やいくつかのお店などが集まっている門前町に出ました。門前町の川側の一段低い場所に、こちらの施設、霧島民芸村がありました。 「霧島民芸村」ってなんだろうと思いながら向かうと、立派なお屋敷のような建物がありました。中には屋久杉でつくられた大きな木工製品などが並んでいます。屋久杉史料館もありました。

Kagoshima Areas

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
