    "This park is located a 20-minute drive from the Ei Interchange on the Ibusuki Skyline. The park has stairs consisting of 108 steps leading up to the top of Mt. Onodake called the Chaju Stairs, a reference to the Japanese term for one's 108th birthday. The stairs are inscribed with the words in Japanese for one's 60th birthday (""kanreki""), 77th birthday (""kiju""), and 88th birthday (""beiju"") along the way. Onodake Shrine, a Shinto shrine built over 700 years ago, stands near the top of the mountain, while from the mountaintop Shiroro Observatory, visitors can get a sweeping view of the entirety of the Nansatsu Plateau."
  • Sebira Nature Park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kagoshima Minamikyushu-shi Eicho Kori Nagasaki
    "This park is located a five-minute drive from Ei Station on the JR Ibusuki Makurazaki Line. Primarily consisting of coastline along National Route 226, the sight of Mt. Kaimondake, nicknamed the ""Satsuma Fuji,"" as seen from the shade of the park's old pine trees is truly stunning. On clear days, visitors can also see all the way to the islands of Iwo Jima, Takeshima, and even distant Yakushima. During sillago fishing season, the park is visited by many families with children; it's also the perfect place to take a break while enjoying a scenic drive through the area. A stone monument stands on the grounds which is dedicated to famed poet Tekkan Yosano and his wife author Akiko Yosano, who visited the area in 1929."
  • Kiyomizu Iwaya Park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kagoshima Minamikyushu-shi Kawanabecho Kiyomizu 3882
    This park is situated along the upper reaches of the lush Manose River a 15-minute drive from the Kawanabe Interchange on the Ibusuki Skyline via National Route 225. The park grounds are the location of the Kiyomizu Magaibutsu, a group of Buddhist sculptures carved into a cliff 20 meters tall and 400 meters long. The park's campground, open year-round, and river-powered lazy river pool (open only in summer) are particularly popular. The park's array of facilities which aid visitors in relaxing also includes the Sakura no Yakata, a cafe operating out of a building resembling the Ginkakuji in Kyoto. Visitors can enjoy leisure activities and the great outdoors in the park year-round, including viewing cherry blossoms in spring, fireflies in early summer, and fall foliage in autumn.

    Travel / Tourism
    Kagoshima Hioki-shi Higashiichikicho Miyama Odawara 2214

  • Daimyoji Keikoku Park
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Kagoshima Kirishima-shi Kokubu
    This hydrophilic park was created along the Korida River, a tributary of the Amori River, a 20-minute drive from JR Kokubu Station. The stone slabs which make up the riverbed in the park are the result of lava and other volcanic products cooling, hardening, and then being eroded by the river over countless years. A portion of the revetment along the river is stair-shaped to allow easy access to the river, and surrounding park facilities include walking paths, a square, and toilets. The river is shallow, ensuring even small children can play in its waters in safety. In the summer, the park is caressed by cool breezes, and visitors are encouraged to take a walk here while listening to the murmur of the river and the songs of birds.

    因為喜歡動物所以很多時候去日本都會去跟動物有關的地方,比如這種或是動物園或是寵物cafe。特意去看馬還真的是第一次。我們最後沒有去騎因為天氣太冷,我們只是在那邊逛逛和買了蘿蔔去餵馬。他們有大的馬還有小的pony非常可愛。其中有一隻金毛的pony特別狂,看見有一個小朋友的衣服被他咬住了。

    大人2人、子供2人で入場料は千円を超えます。トカラ馬と展望台の眺望を楽しむところですね。トカラ馬は仔馬の母子以外は放牧されており、場内を移動しています。 とても大人しく、見て飽きません。 第一展望台のレストハウスはほぼ閉鎖。トイレは使用できる模様。長崎鼻や山川地熱発電所、大隅半島等々の眺望は素晴らしかったです。

    井上誠一氏設計のコースです。 先日、シニアツアーが行われたこともあり、設定がツアー仕様! まずはグリーンがめちゃ早! 上につけると全く入りません、寄せるのがやっと。 そしてバンカーの砂が細かい! 目玉になる事が多く、苦労しました。 池が有るのはショートの1ホールだけですが、バンカーを多く配して戦略的なコースに仕上げています。 パームツリーが南国感を高めて、素晴らしい景観ですが、難しい-! また挑戦...

Kagoshima Areas

around-area-map

Over 100 active volcanoes across Kagoshima make it one of the Japan's most exciting prefectures. The prefectural capital, Kagoshima city, looks out to one of the prefecture’s most spectacular volcanoes, Sakurajima, an island of its own that can be visited and seen close up or admired from afar, with the promise of breathtaking sunsets complete with frequent puffs of smoke and ash. Down the Satsuma Peninsula, the most southerly part of mainland Japan, waterfalls, sand onsen, and fascinating history await, while Kagoshima's abundance of satsuma imo (sweet potato) provide a wholesome snack as well as one of Japan's favourite drinks - shochu.
