Summer in Kagoshima

Kagoshima, a seaside city on Japan's Kyushu Island, is the capital of Kagoshima Prefecture. It's best known for Sakurajima, an active volcano that faces Kinko Bay. At its base, the Nagisa Lava Trail winds through lava fields filled with boulders. Once set on an isolated island, the volcano became connected to the Osumi Peninsula after an eruption in 1914. It’s quite easy to walk down to the ferry terminal and get on the boat to Sakurajima. No ticket required - just pay when you exit the boat. The island is populated despite consisting largely of an active volcano. There was an ash cloud above the volcano and it was belching smoke. We could see the ash on the ground where the rains had washed it into puddles. There’s a city bus that runs a loop to a few stops around town. It was cash only (no IC card) unless you buy the one day pass for ¥500. Enter the bus at the back and pay as you exit. There are shops selling fruits and souvenirs - Sakurajima is known for its satsuma mandarins. There are some nice parks, the longest in japan foot bath and some nice hikes. #bucketlistreboot #passionpassport #gooutside #staycation #urbanexplorer #staycation

Kagoshima Five-Day Four-Night Travel Guide

Kagoshima recommends Kirishima, Ibusuki, and Sakurajima. 🎏 Day 1 and the morning of Day 2: Ibusuki (Pictures 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣) 🚂 Departing from Kagoshima Chuo Station, you can take the black and white Ibusuki no Tamatebako train (Picture 14), which runs three times a day, all reserved seats, and requires advance reservation. The train offers limited edition black and white puddings. On the train, the black side has views of the mountains, and the white side has views of the sea, which is quite unique. It is recommended to stay near Ibusuki Station, where there are buses, electric bicycle rentals, and taxis. Ibusuki recommends visiting Chiringashima, Lake Ikeda, and Nagasakibana Shrine. ☀️ Chiringashima is an uninhabited island that emerges in Kinko Bay, isolated from the world. A sand bridge about 800 meters long appears on the sea surface connecting the island to the mainland for a few short hours before low tide, which is interesting. It is safe to walk on it only from March to October during low tide, and it takes about 20 minutes on foot to reach Chiringashima. The island largely retains its original natural ecology. 🌄 The sunset at Nagasakibana is very beautiful, but the last bus to Nagasakibana leaves at around 3 PM (Picture 6️⃣), which is a bit early for sunset viewing. The nearest train station to Nagasakibana is Nishi-Oyama Station, 18 minutes from Ibusuki Station, but there is no transportation from Nishi-Oyama Station to Nagasakibana, and it takes about an hour on foot. One option is to take a taxi round trip, another is to rent an electric bicycle at Ibusuki Station. 🎏 Afternoon of Day 2 and morning of Day 3: Kirishima (Pictures 7️⃣8️⃣) Kirishima is very beautiful, especially during the cherry blossom season, with cherry trees all along the way. The hot springs here are also famous. Kirishima Shrine is a must-visit for its beauty and atmosphere, and it is recommended to go there before 8 AM. (For more about Kirishima and Kirishima Shrine, please refer to my previous notes) 🎏 Afternoon of Day 3 and Day 4: Sakurajima (Pictures 9～13) Sakurajima is Japan's most active volcano, only four kilometers away from Kagoshima, so it is recommended to stay near Kagoshima Chuo Station on the nights of Day 3 and Day 4. From the port of Kagoshima City, take the ferry to Sakurajima, which runs every 20 minutes and takes 20 minutes for the whole journey. ⚠️ No ticket is needed for the ferry to Sakurajima; just board the ferry, and pay upon arrival at Sakurajima Port, where change machines are available. The return trip is paid at Sakurajima Port before boarding. Upon arriving at Sakurajima, get a Chinese version of the 'Sakurajima Area Map' (Picture 13) at the information center, and you can also buy a sightseeing bus ticket, a one-day pass for 500 yen, with hop-on hop-off privileges. The bus's highest point is 'Yunohira Observatory' (Pictures 11 and 12), and I highly recommend the 'Lava Coast Walking Trail' (Pictures 9️⃣🔟), which is less crowded and offers views of large black volcanic rocks by the sea🪨, very impressive. Not far from the trail, there is also a free foot bath to enjoy. 🎏 On the evening of Day 4, you can visit Kagoshima Chuo Station (end of the pictures), where there are plenty of restaurants and shopping.

The resolute wind of the monks in the two trains, I have another classic "Wind of the Wind", "" Everyone may be a little fierce bird than the eagle, and according to The careful classification of biology, in addition to the scorpion (the owl type) in the raptor, the other raptors are yo! Because "the wind of the monks", it also represents the spirit of the Japanese Bushido, the tenacity, strong, persistent spirit of men.

Walking all the way, on the way to Kagoshima, the sea appeared in front of you, the coastal roads jogged with you, and you were very happy, and you could see the Sakurajima volcano in the distance.

Kagoshima is located at the southernmost tip of Kyushu, ranging from the northern boundary of the county to the junction of the southern and Okinawa counties about 600 kilometers. The warm climate, the changing coastline stretches out its arms and holds the active volcano on the Kagoshima Bay, Sakuraji. Come to the outskirts of Kagoshima and walk along the road. Under a big tree, there is a simple wooden window under the tree. There are all kinds of vegetables on the window. The price of the dishes is hung on the top of each vegetable. There is a plastic in the lower right corner of the window. box. Not the same, I saw an aunt who passed by the battery car. She picked the vegetables she wanted and put the money in the box. The simple version of the vegetable vending machine is on the side of a country road, and the vegetable fields not far away are fruitful.

Sakurajima is located in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. It is a symbolic representative of Kagoshima. It is an active volcano and its volcanic activity is still very active. Sakurajima volcano is composed of Beiyue, Zhongyue and Nanyue. The location is in Kagoshima Bay, facing the Kagoshima Bay in the west, south and north, the Dagu Peninsula in the east, and Kagoshima Bay in the west about 4 km from the Kagoshima City, and Kagoshima. There is a Sakurajima ferry between the city. After leaving Sakurajima, we came to the Kagoshima viewing platform, where we can overlook the night view of the whole city. The night is full of people, so thank you for meeting you in this city. For all sorts of reasons, there is not much affection for Japan, and this trip to Japan allowed me to see a different Japan. Tossing the national origins, there are so many moving places here, in the moment of inadvertent.

Kagoshima, Japan is the southernmost county in Kyushu, Japan. It has various characteristic islands such as the world heritage Yakushima, volcanoes such as Sakurajima, dense forests, rich hot springs, etc., with colorful natural scenery and individuality. It is one of the few sightseeing counties in Japan and one of the birthplaces of ancient Japanese culture. Sitting next to the volcanic island by the sea, quietly thinking about life, the autumn wind is rising, this is about our summer memories. I can think of the most romantic thing, that is, to grow old with the people I like, to see the clouds and clouds, to know the sea and the rocks, to smash the storm and the double rainbow next to the Japanese volcano, waiting at the sea level. Sunrise and sunset are not lucky people. Every good encounter is a gift from God.

The volcano of Sakurajima can only be seen from afar. The city of Kagoshima is under volcanic volcanoes. The whole city is covered with volcanic ash. The people who have lived in the local area for more than ten years have always introduced the windows of every household in Kagoshima. In the closed state, the volcano of Sakurajima will erupt more than four kilometers to be broadcast on Japanese TV news. The eruption of several hundred meters is a common practice for local people. We just arrived at Kagoshima and saw a volcanic eruption on the deck of the cruise. Sakurajima volcano, a symbolic representation of Kagoshima, formed about 26,000 years ago and was originally a submarine volcano. Sakuraji is only 4 kilometers away from downtown Kagoshima. Sometimes you can see the smog of the crater, and the white clouds floating over Sakurajima are often volcanic clouds. The smog that is constantly changing in the sakura of the Sakurajima is the most important scenery here. It can be said that Sakuraji has made the charm of Kagoshima. It is recommended to go to the Chengshan Observatory to get a panoramic view of Kagoshima. If you want to board Sakurajima, you need to take a ferry. The ferry between Kagoshima Port and Sakurajima Port is operated 24 hours a day. About 15 minutes by ferry from the city, you come to the foot of the volcano. This ferry is not only for people, but cars, trucks and even tour buses will take the ferry to Sakurajima. Therefore, the general sightseeing group may sit directly on the tour bus and take a ferry to Sakurajima.

Take the Star Cruises Virgo and start a 6-day, 5-night trip to Japan from Shanghai. Due to the typhoon, the original Kobe-Kagoshima food tour was forced to change to Fukuoka-Kagoshima. Although the sea is full of wind and waves, causing the ship to sway, but it is nothing to say about the wave height experienced by the Antarctic Drake Strait. After 18 hours of sailing from Fukuoka, I finally arrived in Kagoshima. This small city dominated by agriculture has a resident population of more than 600,000, which is also very powerful. The most famous of Kagoshima is the Sakurajima volcano, which erupts from time to time every day. It is also very spectacular. The first stop comes to the Sakurajima volcano Hill Observatory, which overlooks the entire Kagoshima Panorama. It is opposite the Sakurajima volcano. If you are lucky, you can see the splendour of the volcanic eruption. The second stop, we took the ferry directly to the Sakurajima volcano. The ferry took about 15 minutes to come to the volcanic island. The best and most authentic hot springs in the area must be missed. This hot spring is different from other hot springs. Visitors must be completely stripped and cleaned before they can soak in the pool. It is still a bit unaccustomed to the Chinese people. However, the hot springs are really good. After the hot springs and then go to the cold springs, the cycle is alternating and very comfortable. After the bubble is finished, you can taste the local cuisine of Sakurajima. The third stop, of course, buy and buy, return to Kagoshima from Sakurajima, and go straight to the AEON shopping mall where the locals will come. The products are complete, from cosmeceuticals to clothes and food. It is worth visiting. It took only a few hours to get off the boat. Although you can't fully appreciate the beauty of Kagoshima, you can regret it next time. Tips: Sakurajima volcano will often erupt, so pay attention to volcanic ash, if you accidentally enter the eyes, don't use your hands to lick, it is easy to cause damage.
