The programme

Your adventure begins at Lake Ikeda, the biggest in Kyushu, which is famous for...well, a giant dragon that has been terrorizing anyone who dares to cross for centuries! Relax, you can admire it from the shore and enjoy the epic views of Mount Kaimon, the “Satsuma-Fuji”, which looks as if it's come straight out of a postcard.

After a little adrenaline, it's time to recharge in the Tosen gorge, surrounded by wild nature.

And then it's off again, to the most mystical stop of the day: the Kamafuta Shrine. Tradition says that here, you can make a wish…but watch out, the name means "saucepan lid". Who knows, maybe the secret to happiness is hidden under a lid!
