I've traveled in several warm places also outside of japan, ...actually I am geek of islands for years and years... but I came to the main land after hopping islands. After taking many spots on road, I found this place. This is unusually not an island, The location you will arrive, you can enjoy the sea if you like beaches without crowded people. The sea water usually has transparency if the weather hasn't been in a stormy time around your stay. But the reality of the nature, I have to confess that this area has sometime typhoon july-oct.
The mixture of random international meeting helps the world to be more in peace, this is what I believe. I choose the choice have this opportunity to meet different culture people from oversea. But these days people let something necessary to learn put behind. In their words saying nice things but no action. I enjoy people more with movements with good reason. That motivate me and I find them cool.
I traveled different areas like Asia, South-Central America, North America, Europe, Old Soviet union, a few Arabic countries and Oceania. The last year I tried to get know the eastern Caribbean islands. The country I had really many good lessons was in Tonga in some ways. Isolated country from everywhere, islands group have distance each other. The country condition is so special compare to the most of inhabitant countries.
And of course I, warm whether I definitely prefer.
I left the city many years ago, no regret. I have lived in very rural island, and had spent so many islands in different ways. So far what I like, island vanlife. My favorite. I notice that people in general has no time, we need to take care about the quality time... as well how not to worry too much. I am practicing how to maintain to be well with this reality.
I am on the base of idea not having more than I need or I will need. I am not a minimalist. I have to say I have still some attachment. Such as tools and daily use materials which I love to use often. And of course I enjoy using things I made by hand. It would be so nice to encounter people similar minded. Seeing, the current human-being is so destructive to the earth even same to human-being, try to take as much as they can for own gain. I want to minimize my selfish actions to be here and to be myself. If you understand this somewhere from your heart, your stay here will be valuable not for only temporary period same as for me.
Note:
-About my work, I am a freelancer, as video-editor and work on marketing. I have to work sometime.
How about you? Do you have something to do as well during your stay? This is a question.
-About my preference to be honest, I prefer to welcome basically vegetarian or vegan (but! I sometime go fishing and buy sashimi from the local market).
-After some experiences, I would like to meet people who already made decision to leave the cities or already have been living in the country side. If so, please mention it in the first contact to me. I like the people who does what they think.
-I am more enthusiastic to meet someone who has a humor, but smart ones!

If you consider to come to this Kinko-bay-side...
There is an budget airline is called Skymark or Jetstar. There are flight from Osaka (Kanku) and Tokyo (Narita) to Kagoshima everyday, the flight cost will be somewhere between 5,000 - 10,000 yen one way. If you are traveller type of going all through the Japan, there is a ferry which departs in the late afternoon from Osaka, so the ticket to Shibushi port will cost around 10,000 yen one way, the ferry company is called sunflower. From there 45 min to Kanoya.
To be honest the distance from the airport to my place is 120min. July-Oct is the typhoon season here, so your arrangement will be changed if it hit on your flight schedule.
From Kagoshima train station, about 90 min by a local shuttle bus, direction to Furue or Tarumizu.
