【★036★Oita Usuki Samurai District】
Subscribe link ：
Usuki's samurai district is located at its city center, and parts of it keep the flavor of an old castle town with their stone paved alleys lined by premodern looking houses.
The main attraction is the Nioza Historical Road, a 200 meter photogenic narrow alleyway which runs along temples and residences built in Edo Period style architecture, making a feeling of the past. Parallel to it runs the Haccho Oji Shopping Street, a merchant street with a neighborhood atmosphere, lined by shops selling local specialties, groceries and etc. Walking westwards for about five minutes brings you to Ryugenji, with nice three-storied pagoda.
The Ruins of Usuki Castle
It is located on the eastern side of the district. Currently a neighborhood park is located on the former castle grounds. Unfortunately, most of the castle buildings including the main keep have been destroyed over the years, and today the only prominent structures remaining are a turret and a gate standing along the park's entrance.

Ce qui fut autrefois une petite île ainsi que le plus beau château de la ville d’Usuki, les ruines du château d’Usuki sont désormais un beau parc reposant qui domine la ville. Seulement les portes, les tourelles, et un petit temple sont ce qu’il reste de la structure de base.

THE CREEPIEST SHRINE IN JAPAN | Usuki, Oita
A friend mentioned that there is a shrine with stacks of bones around it and we HAD to check it out.
We had to drive through some rugged roads and climb an almost vertical mountain cliff. It was definitely a cool shrine inside a cave. It's apparently a hunting shrine - somewhere to pray for/give thanks for successful hunts by returning the skulls of the animal. The skulls of hunted boars and deers were piled about knee high.
Much love and happy travels

A pair of stone sculpted Nio guardians or Kongōrikishi stand in front of the temple. There are also a few other stone sculptures on the temple's grounds, which includes one of the Buddhist priest that according to legend created the stone Buddhas.
Yamako Usuki Art Museum
It is a small, two-storied museum , exhibiting relics belonging to the local feudal lord of the Edo Period (1603-1867).

Arrival In Japan | The Gaijin Survival Guide
The Gaijin Survival Guide announcement video starts with a time-lapse video of the sun rising on the Usuki castle located on the eastern shore of Oita prefecture. A voice-over gives a very brief explanation of the meaning of the Japanese word for Japan, and describes the legend about how Japan came into being. The video then transitions into an explanation of the geography of Japan's main islands: Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu. The map of the country zooms into the island of Kyushu, specifically Oita prefecture. A black dot appears to show the location of the city of Usuki.
Several short shots flash images of Japan (specifically in the city of Usuki, in Oita Prefecture), including the Usuki Stone Buddhas, a Buddhist temple, the Usuki Castle, and some Japanese Koi fish.
The narrator then declares that he and his wife have moved to the city of Usuki, and while in the grounds of the Usuki castle, tells about the history and highlights of the city.
He talks about the castle and when it was built, and the Usuki Stone Buddhas. Explaining that the Buddhas were designated as national treasures and that they were carved somewhere between the 12th and 14th century, the narrator then briefly mentions temples and shrines and pagodas, and the Nioza Historic Road in Usuki.
The natural highlights are then covered, including the Furen Limestone Caves, a mineral hotsprings, the Hakubakei valley, and a rare type of bamboo that is only found in Usuki.
Japanese festivals are briefly mentioned, specifically talking about the Stone Buddha Fire Festival, the cherry blossom (sakura) festival in the spring, and a festival in November where 20,000 bamboo lanterns are lit around the city.
He finally announces the next couple of videos for the Gaijin Survival Guide, a set about the Japanese syllabaries, Hiragana and Katakana. Another movie about proper chopstick usage and etiquette is also announced.

知覧の麓集落鹿児島県 Chiran Kagoshima JAPAN
Chiran, Kaimon, Kagoshima Kyushu
知覧の麓集落 鹿児島県南九州市
Chiran 知覧 is a small town in the middle of the Satsuma Peninsula in Kagoshima Prefecture. Within the town there is a preserved samurai district with houses and gardens that date back about 250 years. Chiran's isolated location at the southern end of Kyushu has allowed the district to keep much of its historical character intact.
The preserved samurai district consists of a 700 meter long street within downtown Chiran that runs parallel to the main thoroughfare. The street itself is very attractive, with the rock walls and hedges of residences and the forested hillsides in the distance. A historic atmosphere.
Kaimondake volcano 開聞岳, situated in the Ibusuki volcanic region of southern Kyūshū, Japan, near Ibusuki is an undissected volcano which consists of a basal stratovolcano and a small central volcano. It rises 924 meters above sea level. Also known as 'Fuji of Satsuma'. The last eruption occurred in the year 885.
