After a 2-3 hours bus and train ride from Takachiho, I finally arrived at Aoshima where I stayed at a really nice resort hotel for free (from points accumulated from business trips in my ‘past life’ lol - pardon the mini trip down memory lane… sometimes, I can’t help but miss those times 🥺).

Aoshima Beach is right in front, and the shrine is a good 10-15 minute walk (if I remember correctly) from the hotel. Weather’s kinda gloomy, but it was totally fine for me.

Aoshima Shrine, Komorebi, Shikoku - 10:15 am

TW: Abduction

*Princess Kanako, daughter of Prince Komorebi and his wife, Emiko, has just finished her trip to the shrine and is walking to her ride back home*

Driver: どこへ、殿下？ (Where to, Your Highness?) Kanako: 赤福城をお願いします。(Akafuku Palace, please.) *The driver locks all the car doors*

Driver: しっかりと待ってください。(Hang on tight.) Kanako: でこぼこした乗り物で宮殿に戻りますか？(Bumpy ride back to the palace?)

Driver: いいえ、殿下。 今日は家に帰りません。(No, Your Highness. You won't be going home, today.) Kanako: すみません？ 広彦おじさんは緊急事態か何かを宣言しましたか？( Excuse me? Did Uncle Hirohiko declare an emergency or something?) Driver: いいえ、奥様。(No, ma’am.)

Driver: 空港で特別な人に会います。(We'll be meeting someone very special at the airport.) Kanako: 私はこれが好きではありません。 車から出してくれませんか。(I don’t like this. Can you please let me out of the car?) *The driver ignores her*

Kanako: 聞こえなかった？ 車から降りたいと言った！(Did you not hear me? I said I want to get out of the car!)

Driver: 空港に着いたら、家族に電話して別れを告げましょう。 あなたは家に帰ることはありません。(When we get to the airport, call your family and say your goodbyes. You won't be going home.)

Kanako: いいえ、出してください。(No. Please let me out.) *Kanako finally realizes what’s about to happen: She’s being kidnapped, and begins to have a panic attack*

Since Minako and her Siblings are part Japanese on their fathers side, do they indulge into Japanese Culture? Because I can imagine Minako wearing a cute kimono! A pink one to be exact 👘

When Takashi and Flora were still alive, they did their best to take the kids to their motherlands for vacations every year or have their families visit them in London. It's always a good time when it's Takashi's turn to take family back to Japan just in time for the Himeji Yukata Festival, and Minako gets to bust out her favourite Yukata out of the closet.

The Nezumis don't visit the Philippines or Japan as often since their parents died, but they all make a group effort in saving for their vacations. Or the Malfoys decide to invite the family to Japan since Erika and Draco Malfoy have the money to do so, and Minako is best friends with their daughter, Kikyo.

Minako is a pro at shateki (the shooting games at the festivals), but she hates the goldfish scooping games because she knows those goldfish tend to not live very long. Other than the festivals, Minako is really into anime cafés and tends to drag Kikyo along for the ride. And being the animal lover that Minako is, she was elated to visit Aoshima, Japan's cat island, just to feed and play with the cats there.

Flor is a bit of a history nerd. She likes exploring temples and shrines while learning about Japanese mythology. Crowded festivals are not her cup of tea, but she'll put up with it if you give enough shaved ice and yakitori.

Alexis is also not into the festivals, but they'll stay for some cotton candy and fireworks. They'd much rather spend their time relaxing in an onsen hotel. Private onsens preferably.

Kento loves the festivals the most down from the atmosphere, the food, and the games. He likes looking for the weirdest love hotels and that robot restaurant show just for the fun of it.

Torsdag 27. oktober

Både igår og idag har kjennst meir som transportetapper enn dei to fyrst køyredagane. Merkeleg, for me har heilt klart stoppa og sett på mykje rart idag òg. Idag køyrde me frå Miyazaki sørover langs kysten til Cape Toi, og deretter vestover til Kagoshima der me har tenkt å overnatte til minst laurdag.

Rett sør for Miyazaki stoppa me på øya Aoshima som me lett tok oss til via ei gongbru frå fastlandet. Der stoppa me for å kikke på eit geologisk fenomen som vert kalla Oni no Sentakuita, eller «Devil’s wasboard» på engelsk. Det er rekkjer med basaltstein som ligg lagvis, ganske fascinerande. Dette såg me fleire stader sørover langs kysten. Neste stopp var eit merkeleg skue. Ein slags temapark med inspirasjon frå Påskeøya, med store replika av steinstatuane.

Vidare var me innom Udo Shrine, eit tempel dedikert til faren til Jimmu, den fyrste keisaren av Japan. Neste stopp etter det var Kapp Toi, der me var innom fyrtårnet for utsikta. Bestemte oss for å spare alt sør for Kapp Toi til seinare, og istaden kome oss til Kagoshima for å bruke det som base. Imorgon blir det fyrst Sakurajima, ein av dei mest aktive vulkanane i Japan.

Aoshima shrine 幼いときに連れてきてもらっているらしいけど、全く記憶になかった😅　青島では200種類以上の植物が確認され、そのうち熱帯性及び亜熱帯性の植物が27種、北半球最北のヤシ科植物の群生地ということだそうで、宮崎の南国っぷりにビックリしました‼️ 鬼の洗濯板は確かに珍しい奇岩で、青島神社は元宮の雰囲気がよかったです。 #宮崎 #青島 #shrine #island #鬼の洗濯板 #奇岩 #scenery #隆起 #奇形波蝕痕 #天然記念物 #熱帯 #亜熱帯植物 #群生地 #青島神社 #貝殻 #元宮 #祈りの古道 #神馬 #参道 #絵馬 #神秘 #天の平瓮 #holiday #hot #summer #夏休み #sightseeing #august #fun #sunny (青島神社) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiFfO2Dhbrw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Aoshima jinja 青島神社 nell'Isola di Aoshima

An incredible temple in a "tropical island" surrounded by palm trees. Although it is not clear, it is thought that the foundation date back to before the year 820. In the ancient times, the entire island was a sacred land and up to the Edo period on the island was not allowed entry. Un tempio incredibile in un "isola tropicale" circondato da palme. Anche se non è chiaro si pensa che la data di fondazione risalga a prima dell'anno 820 .Nei tempi antichi, l'intera isola era un terreno sacro e fino al periodo Edo sull'isola non era consentita l'entrata.

PRINCE KOMOREBI AND FAMILY MAKE PLEA FOR PRINCESS KANAKO, FOUR MONTHS AFTER SHE WAS REPORTED MISSING

KOMOREBI CITY, KOMOREBI WARD, SHIKOKU --

Today, Their Imperial Highnesses Tatsuhiko, Prince Komorebi, his wife Emiko, Princess Komorebi and their oldest daughter, Princess Misako of Komorebi sat down to cameras and journalists to make a plea to Princess Kanako’s abductor to return her home safe and sound, at Akafuku Palace.

Speaking out for the first time since 9 July, Prince Tatsuhiko gave an emotional speech to the public for his younger daughter to come home.  “It was Saturday morning, 9 July, she had to leave early for an engagement at Aoshima Shrine, she kisses me and Emiko goodbye. Later on, Misako gets a voicemail from her saying ‘Goodbye, this may be the last time I see you, I love you.’ and when we heard the voicemail ourselves... it seemed that time came to... abrupt halt.” He said to reporters.

His Imperial Highness, fighting to hold back tears, further states, “We received information from the authorities that Kanako left Aoshima Shrine at 10:15. She had finished her solo engagement there and was headed back here to rest for a bit before her next engagement to the cemetery to give offerings to her great-grandparents. But, when we got word that she never made it to the cemetery, we reported her missing. We also received a surveillance video from Yamada Airport, showing her being grabbed by the arm by someone, and whisked onto a an airplane.”

Finally, he couldn’t take it. He made the emotional plea: “Kana-chan, If you can see this or hear this, please come home. We love you and we want to know that you’re safe,” before breaking down in tears.

Emiko, Princess Komorebi, pleaded through tears: “Kana-chan, please come home. I don’t want harm to come to you. Please, please come home. We love you.”  The Prince Komorebi family closed the conference without receiving questions. Princess Kanako was last seen wearing a light purple blouse and a dark purple skirt. She is 157 centimeters tall and weighs 72 kilograms. Anyone with information is urged to call their local authorities or the Shikoku Federal Authorities.
