    古代米といえば黒米を思い浮かべますが、赤米も古代米の一つでそれらに関する展示がされていて、入場も無料です。 展示もそんなになく短い時間で見られますので宝満神社の参拝とセットで立ち寄ってはいかがでしょうか? 駐車場もあるしトイレも綺麗なので。

    Kagoshima Pref. Kagoshimashi Kamoike 2-31-18
    A science museum located a 15-minute drive from the Kagoshima Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. Through facilities such as Japan’s only large film projector-equipped dome cinema and planetarium, the museum presents the laws of the natural world, science and technology, and outer space in a way that is fun and easy to understand. Numerous interactive exhibits include the Sakurajima Sky Cycle, a pedal powered flight simulator which visitors can use to “fly” over Sakurajima; an earthquake simulator through which visitors can experience everything from what mild to strong earthquakes feel like; and a wind simulator which lets visitors experience what truly powerful winds can do. This is a fun-filled destination great for families with children.

    科学館自体は、ありふれた施設です。 定期的にやっているイベントなど、子どもたちが楽しめる仕掛けはよいと思います。 プラネタリウムは、期待せずに見たのですが、予想以上に楽しめました。 また機会があれば、プラネタリウムは見てもいいなと思います。

    This day-use hot spring bathhouse is located a 10-minute drive from Kagoshima Airport. In the bathhouse' inviting building, accented with warm woods, you can enjoy relaxing hot spring bathing. Situated along a steep river valley, the bathhouse' indoor baths command views of the Amori River and have an open, airy feeling similar to an outdoor bath. The bathhouse' source spring is extremely hot and thus its waters are cooled by diluting them with Kirishima mountain spring water, and customers can make use of two natural free-flowing spring baths, one hot and one lukewarm. The waters of the bathhouse' hydrogen carbonate spring are said to be remarkably effective at treating nerve pain, cuts, burns, and even heat rash. The bathhouse also has a cafe and offers overnight accommodations without meals.

    飛行機の乗り継ぎの合間に訪れました。空港からタクシーで片道2500円払って、200円の温泉に入りに来ましたが、その価値がありました。 地元の方たちが次々と訪れ、お喋りに花を咲かせており、シャンプーなど持たずに来た私に、「私の使いなさい」と貸してくださったりして、とても温かくフレンドリーなのは土地柄なのかしらと思いました。 温泉もかなり肌がツヤツヤになり、のぼせそうになったら外に出て渓谷を眺めなが...

    This is the original shaved ice “white bear” shop in the Tenmonkan G3 arcade. The “white bear”, also known as a Kagoshima specialty, is made by pouring home-made milk on finely shaved ice and topping with colorful fruit. The size is quite large so for those who don’t think they could finish a serving we recommend the baby size. There are a variety of toppings such as chocolate and caramel pudding.

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.
