Kagoshima City is the capital of Kagoshima Prefecture, the southernmost part of the Kyushu region. It is not a tourist destination in Japan, but you can actually spend a day to experience the charm of this slow-paced city. - ❶ View Sakurajima from the Shiroyama Park Observation Deck ❷Tour around the city on the Kagoshima City Tram ❸Try the super-famous Kagoshima black pork cutlet rice - Takuya Kawakaku ❹ Check out the super popular Shirokuma shaved ice ❺Purchase Kagoshima specialty—かるかん（軽羹） ❻Find your favorite coffee shop in the alley near Tenmonkan Station and enjoy the afternoon ❼Go to the かごっまふるさと屋台村 and have a drink and eat some local snacks - 🌟Tips ①Suica cannot be used on Kagoshima City.

Enter your mobile phone number on the machine at the entrance of the store to make a reservation. ③かるかん recommends Akashiya’s. It’s like the rice cakes I ate when I was a kid. It’s lightly sweet and super delicious! Available both inside and outside the station, but the shelf life is very short ④There are two major stations in Kagoshima. Kagoshima Station is convenient to Shiroyama Park and the Aquarium. Kagoshima Chuo Station is convenient to take the Shinkansen. Both stations are connected by JR. ⑤Everyone has to order one portion of Shirokuma Shaved Ice. The normal size is for 1 to 2 people (a very big portion), so just order the baby size. ⑥The Seal of the Hundred Castles of Kagoshima Castle is in the [Aimeikan] at the foot of the mountain, but the Aimeikan is closed on Mondays. You can also go to the [Kagoshima Castle Seal] near Central Park, and you can also buy the castle seal.

#cherryblossom25 Perched atop Mount Shiroyama, this park provides panoramic views of downtown Kagoshima, Kinko Bay, and the iconic Sakurajima volcano. In April, approximately 550 cherry trees, including Somei Yoshino and Yaezakura varieties, bloom alongside 30,000 azaleas, creating a vibrant tapestry of colors. The park’s observatory offers a 360-degree vista, making it an ideal spot for both daytime picnics and evening strolls.

This trip to Kagoshima is really awesome! 🚢 Take a boat to Sakurajima and soak your feet while watching the unparalleled sea view. 📸 Then we went to "Senyan Garden" and "Yoshino Park", the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and you can see the Sakurajima volcano in the distance. The view is so beautiful that you can't wait to leave! 🌸🌋 The restaurant inside Senyan Garden is even better, eating Japanese food while looking at the scenery of Sakura Island is simply a life enjoyment ~🍱🍵 The most surprising thing was that after visiting the "Tsukuni Shrine", it happened to be a Saturday night and took the night citywalk bus from "Shiroyama Park". The night view of Kagoshima is really beautiful! 🌃✨ The lights of the whole city flicker When it comes to food, Kagoshima is unbeatable! 😋 Had the super delicious Kagoshima black pork fried pork chop, black hair pork and black hair wagyu beef sabusabu, as well as barbecue all-you-can-eat, fresh sashimi and charcoal grilled eel rice, everything was great! 🍖🍣🔥 Food quality and restaurant service are better than Tokyo Osaka, the price is 1/3 cheaper, high value for money! 💯💰 Kagoshima is a place worth visiting and will definitely come back next time! ❤️✈️ #Kagoshima #Sakurajima #Senyan Garden #Yoshino Park #Teukuni Shrine #Shiroyama Park #night view #black pork #black hair wagyu beef #sabusabu #barbecue all you can eat #sashimi #Binagacharcoal eel rice #value for money #travel diary #japan trip #food tour #cherry season #photo attractions

Taking the Kyushu Shinkansen, I arrived in Kagoshima City in the southern part of Kyushu. This city is built around the Sakurajima Volcano, which erupts many times throughout the year. When I arrived, the volcano's crater was still emitting thick smoke. Every household in Kagoshima City has bags in front of their doors to collect volcanic ash. From the observatory in Shiroyama Park, you can see the entire city and the Sakurajima Volcano. Shiroyama Park is the site of the last civil war in Japan, the Satsuma Rebellion. After being defeated in the Satsuma Rebellion, Saigo Takamori committed suicide here. It is said that if you haven't seen the Sakurajima Volcano, you haven't truly been to Kagoshima. However, sometimes due to bad weather, fog may obscure the view of Sakurajima, so it's best to visit on a clear day. Walking to Kagoshima Port allows you to appreciate the Sakurajima Volcano up close. There are ferries that can take you to Sakurajima, but they may stop operating during volcanic eruptions. Kagoshima City also has many statues of famous people. Starting from Kagoshima Chuo Station, you can see statues of Saigo Takamori and Okubo Toshimichi, the statue of the 11th lord of the Satsuma Domain, Shimazu Nariakira, in Terukuni Shrine, the statue of Atsuhime in the Reimeikan, and the statues of Sakamoto Ryoma and his wife in the Tenmonkan shopping street. In the Tenmonkan shopping street, I tasted Kyushu's tonkotsu ramen and Shirokuma ice cream. The Ishin Furusato Museum near Kagoshima Chuo Station is a place to learn about the history of the Satsuma Domain. Kagoshima is also one of the birthplaces of the Meiji Restoration. The museum records historical materials related to Saigo Takamori, the arrival of the Black Ships, the Satsuma-Choshu Alliance, and the Satsuma Rebellion. There are many items related to the NHK Taiga drama "Segodon." The entrance fee is 300 yen, and the museum is usually open year-round. Kagoshima · Kagoshima Prefecture Sakurajima
