Starting this fall, the skyway to Kagoshima, Japan is expected to become more comfortable.

Korean Air recently announced that it will increase Incheon-Kagoshima round-trip flights from three times a week to five times a week from September 2. Jeju Air will also start operating regular flights to Kagoshima three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) from September 14 for the first time as a low-cost airline (LCC).

Kagoshima, a mild climate in southern Japan, has gained popularity as a winter training site for local athletes, with an average annual temperature of about 17 to 19 degrees.

Korean Air reopened the Kagoshima skyway, which was cut off when it began operating three regular flights a week from Incheon to Kagoshima last year after the COVID-19 pandemic ended. This is because domestic demand for Japan's Kagoshima route has increased, and the weak yen is expected to increase the enthusiasm for Japanese golf tourism.

With the increase of the two airlines, the number of direct flights to Kagoshima has increased to eight times a week. Jeju Air is expected to have more passengers on board than Korean Air, so customers who want to travel to Japan for golf are expected to travel to and from Kagoshima more freely.

Kagoshima has a golf integration platform 'Show Golf' acquired at the end of last year 'Satsuma Golf & Hot Spring Resort'.

Satsuma Golf Resort, which transplanted show golf DNA, is drawing attention for the first time in five months.

Show Golf CEO Cho Sung-joon said, `In my 20 years of golf business, I always think about impressing customers rather than satisfaction,' and `We are continuously introducing various services that Korean customers want.'

To eliminate difficulties in language communication, Show Golf dispatched employees to the Satsuma Resort to provide 24-hour Korean and Japanese interpretation services. In order to make it easier to move in the city close to the resort, Songyeong service is operated or rental car service is also provided in the resort.

For golfers who are serious about golf, 'minus 5 Program' is being implemented.

During your stay at the resort, you can reduce the number of lesson pros and golf strokes by five strokes at the local driving range and approach practice range. It means to manage skin age 5 years younger with 100% natural hot spring water, and to live 5 years longer by blowing stress through fresh air and healthy food in a clean natural environment.

In addition, from the beginning of the acquisition, course experts have been put in place to manage the course condition intensively, maintaining the best condition of the course.

For the summer vacation season, an indoor swimming pool with six 25M lanes and an outdoor swimming pool where you can enjoy the summer were also opened over the weekend for families who do not play golf.

The satisfaction of customers who visited Satsuma Resort is evaluated in real time and responded in real time. Thanks to these efforts, the founding account of Satsuma Resort was sold out in two months. The first account is on sale.
