Takachiho in May

Takachiho-no-mine is at the very edge of the Kirishima mountain range, which towers over the border between Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures. There is an anecdote that Sakamoto Ryoma and his wife visited the mountain on their honeymoon and pulled out the sakahoko (a spear) at the top of the mountain. As it is a volcano, it goes without saying that extreme caution is required, and many parts of the slope are made of gravel, so you will need to brace yourself. Nevertheless, the view from the summit is exceptional. With nothing blocking the view, you can see all the way to Sakurajima in the distance. In May, you can also enjoy the beautiful Miyamakirishi.
