After Stories Series | Kagoshima: Healing and Prayer

Kagoshima has a culture of
"getting things in order."

Living with volcanoes.
Cherishing natural water.
Soaking in hot springs.
Gazing at the sea.
Having quiet time.

The "After Stories Series" is a series set in
Kagoshima, the hometown of ONSENSUI99,
with the theme of "a journey to calm the mind."

Rather than just tourist information,
it focuses on the land created by volcanoes,
the natural water flowing deep underground,
life surrounded by sea and mountains,
and the prayers and activities of the people.

"Why was this water nurtured in this land?"

We also deliver the natural and spiritual culture behind this.

While the Discover Kagoshima Series
is a series that widely introduces the nature, culture, and tourism of Kagoshima as a whole,
After Stories
focuses on a quieter and more emotionally resonant journey.

Kagoshima's Wellness Culture Nurtured by Water

Kagoshima is a land formed by volcanic activity.

Groundwater that has passed through layers of volcanic ash over many years
becomes soft natural water, supporting the local food and hot spring culture.

ONSENSUI99 is also
natural alkaline ion water collected from deep underground in Tarumizu, Kagoshima.

In Kagoshima,
there is "time to get things in order."

Listening to the sounds of nature.
Breathing slowly.
Gazing at a quiet landscape.
And savoring the water.

We hope that the After Stories Series
will be an opportunity to experience Kagoshima's culture of healing and prayer.
