We went to Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Kagoshima for 2 days on November 3 and 4. It's my 41st birthday anniversary on October 16, so we had decided to take a drive to see the best nature spots such as the five mountains of
Aso,
Takachiho,
Kirishima mountain range etc. We also went to Miyama in
Hioki city,
Kagoshima. It is known for producing
Satsuma porcelain, one of the traditional handicrafts of Japan.
First, we had visited the
Tabaruzaka (田原坂) Battle Field in
Kita-ku, Kumamoto. We went there in June, but it was rainy day. It was nothing to do that because of the heavy rain. We want to take the best pictures, so we had decided to go there again this time.
The new museum. Unfortunately, it hasn't been opened yet. It'll be open to the public on November 15.
Dankon-no-ie (弾痕の家) or the house of bullet holes. The old museum next to the house was already closed, it was during the
demolition work.
About 200m further down the pathway from the museum and Dankon-no-ie house, you can find an equestrian statue of the young samurai (
bishonen (美少年) in Japanese) and the Suretsu monument.
An equestrian statue of the samurai warrior who serves on the Satsuma forces during the battle flight against the imperial forces in 1877.
The Suretsu monument of Tabaruzaka
The beautiful landscape of Mount Sannodake and Mandarin orange field from the Suretsu monument.
We had also visited the war cemeteries in Nanamoto. There are two separate cemeteries, the one is for the Satsuma forces and the another one is for the imperial forces. This is for the Satsuma forces.
The cosmos flowers in full bloom in the prescient.
A little away from here, there is a site for the imperial forces.
A remembrance pine tree for
the lower ranks of Army Major General who died during the battle.
