Satsuma Town, located in the northwestern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, is a prestigious mountain village city with the charm of untouched rich nature and old history, surrounded by beautiful green mountains including the steep but rich Mt. Shibi, and with the clear stream of the Sendai River flowing slowly through the center of the town. It is full of highlights such as the famous "Shibi Hot Spring Resort," which has a history of about 500 years and attracts hot spring fans from all over the world as "hot water for beautiful skin," and beautiful cherry blossom trees that vividly color the Sendai River side every spring. Also, the "Firefly Boat" experience, where tens of thousands of mysterious fireflies dance beautifully in the night sky in early summer, is very popular among international tourists. It is a town packed with gourmet food such as specialty fresh Satsuma bamboo shoots and persimmons, where you can luxuriously and deeply heal both your mind and body.
