Junetsuki is a series of summer festivals held in various shrines and temples throughout the prefecture during the month of July (June on the old calendar), each held on a day designated by the shrine or temple itself. Junggetsu-do has a long history and continues to be a successful seasonal event in Kagoshima during the summer. In the grounds of the shrines and temples, lanterns made of sticks and Japanese paper are strung along rope nets with various illustrations and messages on them. There are also many shops along the roadside. These shops, the atmosphere of the shrines and temples, and the lanterns together create a very dreamy, magical atmosphere. In Kagoshima City, these festivals take place almost every evening in July and continue until the end of the month. Please enjoy "Summer in Kagoshima" at the Junggetsu-do Lantern Festival! The "Terikuni Shrine Junggetsu Festival" held on July 15th and 16th every year is one of the largest June festivals in Kagoshima Prefecture.

The world heritage site is a little far from the city. But the taxi driver said that the most famous place in Kagoshima is Sakurajima, and this is the most beautiful place to see Sakurajima. Just don&#39;t go there too late. It&#39;s very inconvenient to call a taxi during the evening rush hour. We took the bus to the planetarium before we called a taxi. By the way, I recommend the white bear fruit in the planetarium.

A place suitable for slowing down the pace of travel and exploring, with a very beautiful volcano. Although I only stayed there for two hours with my child (one and a half hours were spent in hot springs), it is definitely a place to visit twice. The whole island feels peaceful and calm after getting on and off the ferry, with few people and beautiful scenery.
It is easy to walk from the ferry port to the hot spring foot bathing place by the sea in 10 minutes. The dinosaur park is also within 10 minutes&#39; walk. There is also a seaside trail, which is a very memorable place. The ferry is open 24 hours a day, so you don&#39;t have to worry about not being able to return to Kagoshima, just keep an eye on the time. There are buses around the island, and if you drive, you can take the ferry.
From the 16th bus outside the Kagoshima rear pier of Sakurajimakai, you can go directly to Kagoshima Central Station, which is very convenient.

Kagoshima City Aquarium

The observation deck on the 4th floor was beyond my expectation. The floor-to-ceiling glass showed Sakurajima Volcano as the background, and there was a white bear ice cream vending machine. The dolphin show outside the aquarium was also worth seeing. To get to Sakurajima Volcano, you can take the stairs next to the aquarium waterway to the ferry boarding point (take the ferry on the second floor and pay the fare after getting off the ferry)

Shiroyama Park Observation Deck

Night view

翱翔的大鲨鱼

From here you can overlook the vast Pacific Ocean. There are white waves on Shimanami Kaido that you never get tired of seeing. It&#39;s a good time to go short here and do nothing. See the sea and sky, and listen to the sound of waves. Physical comfort.

Tenmonkan

The hotel is located on Tenmonkan Avenue, with convenient transportation. It takes two bus stops to Kagoshima Central Station. It takes 2 minutes to get to Tenmonkan Pedestrian Street from the hotel. It is very convenient for eating, drinking, playing and shopping. The room is compact, and the double room with a large bed is enough for two people. The room is fully equipped, with disposable toothbrushes and slippers. The most important thing is that it is clean and hygienic.
