Kagoshima Travel Tips

Recommended
3 of 6 in Kagoshima Prefecture

Kagoshima (鹿児島), the southernmost major city in Kyushu and the capital of Kagoshima Prefecture, exudes a unique charm reminiscent of its Italian sister city, Naples. With its mild climate, palm tree-lined streets, and the ever-present rumble of Mount Sakurajima (often compared to Mount Vesuvius in Italy), Kagoshima invites you to explore its vibrant atmosphere and warm-hearted locals. Dive into the city’s rich history as the former seat of the powerful Shimazu clan, which played a significant role in Japan's Meiji Restoration.

Kagoshima is not just a destination; it's a gateway to incredible adventures. From here, embark on day trips to the stunning Kirishima Mountains or the scenic Satsuma Peninsula. The city also serves as a gateway to enchanting islands like Yakushima and Amami Oshima, where breathtaking nature awaits. Whether exploring historic sites or soaking in the stunning landscapes, Kagoshima promises an unforgettable journey.
