This full-day tour takes you back to the ancient days of the samurai. You will travel south to the Satsuma Peninsula, a mountainous wonderland of hot springs. Your first destination is a samurai house in Chiran. Here, you'll witness a lane lined by residences of warriors who lived in the Edo period (17th through mid-19th centuries). Next, you'll head to Lake Ikeda for photo stop. The largest lake on Kyushu, Lake Ikeda is actually a caldera, and the remains of a collapsed volcano; it serves as a stunning frame for serene Mt. Kaimon (weather permitting), a beautifully conical volcano that resembles Mt. Fuji in shape. During your tour enjoy a Western-style lunch in a local restaurant before the return drive back to the pier.
