What to expect
Mount Sakurajima
We start off the morning with a ferry ride over to Sakurajima, the beautiful Volcano Island just 20 minutes from vibrant Kagoshima City. We will go to the beach and dip our toes in as its still a bit early to full on swim or just throw some floating rocks into the ocean. We will then keep dipping our feet in as we go to the hot spring fed foot bath where we have views of the bay and even a little cover incase of too much sun, or a bit of rain. The natural waters will soothe your feet and some claim the health benefits of the natural hot spring waters!
We will explore the 1300 year old shrine, take in some amazing historical views and photos as well as get a great view of both the volcano as well as a view of the bay and city. Guests love to take photos here and our guide will talk about the volcano, the shrine, and share the reason so many even to this day come here for blessings for the health of family and our wellbeing.
Tenmonkan
We will take a trolley through the historic Tenmonkan ok Kagoshima unless everyone votes to walk it and we have the time. This is where endless shops, snacks, and happenings occur for Kagoshima. Bringing in the local goods, and people, we will arrive at our amazing riverfront cherry blossom area. Along the goregous river we will have photo opportunities and talk about the hanami culture and enjoy this walk through one of Kagoshima's iconic Cherry blossom areas.
Kagoshima Chuo Station
after enjoying the cherry blossoms and the riverwalk we will enjoy a course of some of the award wining Kagoshima Wagyu. Did you know Kagoshima has continiously beaten Kobe Wagyu as the top rated Wagyu in Japan? Its true, and its included on this tour! A balanced set plus desert and tea or coffee are included here.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
