First Honeymoon in Japan

One of the famous people from the Kagoshima area is Ryoma who was instrumental in negotiations between the shogunate government and the new government being formed as part of the Meiji Restoration or modern Japan. Probably due to European influence he took his new bride to a hot spring "onsen" resort in the Kirishima area near Kagoshima. Kagoshima and the surrounding area has more active hot water sources than anywhere else in Japan.
