Overview

Start your journey by picking sweet, seasonal mandarin oranges before visiting Rengein Tanjoji Okunoin, one of Kyushu's most revered spiritual sites, where you'll have the rare opportunity to ring Japan's largest temple bell and pray for good fortune and peace. In the evening, stay at Hotel Shirasagi and unwind in Tamana's renowned 100% natural free-flowing "Beauty Hot Spring," celebrated for its silky, skin-nourishing waters. On Day 2, join the Fresh & Sweet Strawberry Marathon and choose between the 5 km or 10 km course through Tamana's scenic countryside and along the Kikuchi River. Along the route, refuel at unique aid stations featuring fresh local strawberries and regional specialties.
