While serving with the US army in Vietnam, I took my week of R&R (Rest & Recreation) in Japan, departing from Danang Airbase on Thanksgiving day. While in Japan, I took the train south from Tokyo to Kagoshima City, in Kyushu Province near the southern tip of the country, where I visited an American family. My host took me on a sightseeing trip into the mountains to the north of Kagoshima City, where we paused for this lovely autumn scene.

The mountains of Kirishima are an important site in the creation mythology of Japan. It was in this area that the god Ninigi no Mikoto, grandson of the sun goddess Amaterasu, is said to have descended from heaven to rule over the earth.
Ninigi no Mikoto landed on nearby Mt. Takachiho-no-mine bringing with him the three imperial regalia: the sword, the mirror and the gem; symbols of the imperial family. He eventually married a local princess, becoming mortal in the process, and established the lineage of Japanese Emperors.
Devoted to Ninigi no Mikoto, Kirishima Shrine was built during the Muromachi Period on a different site from where it stands today. Since then it has been destroyed numerous times by volcanic eruptions, but always rebuilt. The current shrine was constructed in 1715 where it survives to this day. Its large, beautiful buildings are surrounded by forest and have been declared important cultural property.

A sub-temple of Kennin-ji, only open for a few weeks each year in spring and autumn. Beautiful Kirishima tsutsuji (azaleas) to see there but the light was harsh for photos.
Colonies of Miyama-Kirishima are in full bloom in Mount Hiji, Kuju National Park, Japan. Also, volcanic steam is blowing out from Mount Iou in the middle.

Get to know Soul "Miles" Kirishima!
He's your typical skater bad boy with a heart of cold! He does have soft spot for animals, his mom, and of course Sora! (Oh the things he would do to and for her that girl right there.) His style could be described as skater grunge with a hint of Japanese street fashion influences. The nickname "Miles" comes from his "super speed" when he's on board. It's almost like he's the flash or something. Don't fuck with him he might pull his butterfly knife out on you.
Here's a song he would like! 🎶: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2VU38XH9Qo
