Now getting back to Kagoshima from Kaimon station was always going to take a long time, but today it took even longer. I was about an hour early for the train, so I spent time in the Family Mart and a local supermarket before just hanging out at the Kaimon station seen in the first pic. The first train came right on time, it comes once every 4 hours so do not miss it! You have to take a number when you board and then pay cash when you get off.
Anyway, the little train terminates at this station, Ibusuki, which is a tourist town where you get buried in sand for fun. I planned to change trains here to a limited express back to Kagoshima, but it was sold out! German cruise ship passengers had spent the day buried in sand and bought all the tickets.
So I had to wait around here for 50 minutes for the next slow all stations train, which added even more time onto an already long day.
Tonight's outing will likely be short.
