41 days in Kagoshima Itinerary

Kagoshima sits across the bay from Sakurajima, an active volcano that serves as a symbol of the city and works its way into many aspects of life here.

Shop till you drop at Michi-no-Eki Iokaido and Iso Kogeikan. Appreciate the collections at Sora Stage and Satsuma Denshokan. Venture out of the city with trips to Ebino (Ebino Kogen & Rokkannon Miike Pond), Kirishima (The Hundred Year Sulfur Valley, Kareigawa Station, &more) and Miyakonojo (Miike Shrine, Takachihonomine, &more). The adventure continues: contemplate the waterfront views at Fushime Coast, make a trip to Kamo Hachiman Shrine, get outside with Nichinan Coast Seminational Park, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Sekiyoshi Sluice Gate of Yoshino Leat.
