[Kumamoto] Japan's longest stone staircase with 3,333 steps

#tourist spot ⁣ "Japan's best stone steps" ⁣ Leaving the octagonal tunnel and heading towards Kirishima ⁣ I saw a sign that said "Japan's best stone steps" so I made a U-turn ⁣ It's called Shakain Misaka Promenade,⁣ and it seems that the best stone steps in Japan were built on Misaka, the main approach to the historic Shakain Temple (Izumi-cho, Yatsushiro City), which has a history of 1200 years. ⁣ There are a whopping 3333 stone steps! ⁣ I asked them to make a U-turn so that I could climb them, but⁣ My accommodation for the day was Kirishima Onsen♨️⁣ It took 3 hours round trip,⁣ and I had to give up because of the check-in time. ⁣ ⁣ I'd like to try it when the weather is nice⛰⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🗾Sakamoto, Misato-machi, Shimomashiki-gun, Kumamoto Prefecture ⁣ 📍 Shakain Misaka Promenade⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #Kumamoto⁣ #Misato-machi⁣ #Shakain Misaka Promenade⁣ #Japan's tallest stone steps⁣
