Spotted a ferry terminal early in the ride, and decided to head back to the mainland. Turned out to be a good choice, the road to Hitoyoshi ran alongside a river, and cherry trees were blooming. The route was 219, its very nice road for cycling but there are a couple of tunnels without shoulder, so be extremely careful not to get hit. Luckily they are short, so you have to make a quick dash as soon as the traffic stops, lights would be handy.
Camped behind the croquet lawn in Hitoyoshi 'craft park' where I met a japanese motor bike traveller. Was introduced to the pleasures of hot shochu (distilled japanese spirit, usually from rice or sweet potatoe) and gave me details of numerous cheap places to stay en-route to Kagoshima. Nice camping ground too, cherrys all over the place.
