There is a "Culture street" in the center but I have no clue where the name comes from, as it has almost nothing but snacks!

From Kagoshima, I went to Ibusuki for half a day, a small beach town famous for its sand baths. 

I couldn't wait to lie on the beach, body covered with hot sand, listening to the sounds of the lapping waves...

...But then I had a reality check: first, I expected to actually be on the beach, not under tents specially fitted out for that purpose, and contrary to what is skillfully suggested by some advertisings.

But the real problem was the noise: well, the waves could be heard...sometimes, when their sound wasn't drowned out by the shoveling, announcements, noisy children and parent reprimands...I was actually more stressed when I left than when I arrived!
