Hinatayama Segodon village — Attraction in Kirishima

Great home-made soft ice cream and local food market set in a re-created Edo courtyard with footbath, Japanese garden and samurai house. Incredibly, it’s all free ( except for the ice cream of course 😄)

The staff seem to be genuinely happy to be working here and frankly more helpful than the official tourist employees you’ll find at the onsen locations.

Highly recommended for a quick, fun, no-stress visit!

They also had an area where you could try on the same outfit that was worn by the famous Japanese hero Sakamoto...

Did I mention the price? It’s FREE! lovely hot onsen footpath up to above your ankles. Just a pleasure to linger. Restaurant doesn’t open till 11 but food shop next door was open at 10. We bought some coffee, Matcha tea, deep fried chicken and sweet potato and sat with our feet in a footpath while we ate it. Lovely to relax. similarly the old house to relax there koi fish in the hot pond? The best value when the price is free -...

Really great experience, the volunteer who was there on the 4/1/24 was very enthusiastic and kind towards us and my son and super helpful. Thank you so much! You can wear a kimono for free. Edo period house and garden, my son was able to feed the koi! We also used the footbath which is free! We didn't eat there though there is a restaurant.

Definitely worth the visit, the store has a lot of great local foods...
