    Kagoshima Pref. Kagoshimashi Yoshinochou 9688-24
    This gallery and shop is located in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture and adjoins a Satsuma Kiriko cut glass factory. Satsuma Kiriko is known for the gradations of color created by making deep cuts into thick glass, and its intricate designs and gorgeous hues make this traditional art a delight to behold. Though the techniques went out of use at the beginning of the Meiji period, a movement to revive the art started in 1985, and it continues to be produced today. Visitors can purchase utensils, interior goods, souvenirs, and other items, and they can also observe the creation process. The old-fashioned building itself is a registered Tangible Cultural Property, making it a must-see.

    スタバの隣に存在するのは鹿児島へ訪れる度に分かる存在感ある建物です。 中には薩摩切子の名工から若手の新作まで、製品が並びます。 その中に薩摩ボタン作家『薩摩志史』さんの作品を発見しました。 人気ある作家さんの為、ご本人のサイトでは完売であった作品が複数ありました。 垂水市の工房まで行くことなく購入でき、大変嬉しかったです。 数年間かけて探していたので、ご縁に感謝します。

  • Ogaku Pottery
    Travel / Tourism
    Kagoshima Kagoshima-shi Sakurajimaakamizucho 1360
    This pottery located in the foothills of Sakurajima, the symbol of Kagoshima, creates Sakurajima ware. The pottery, which originally started out making white Satsuma ware, is notable for being operated entirely by women. Sakurajima ware is an original style of pottery made with Sakurajima's volcanic ash and hot spring water. Mixing volcanic ash with hot spring water that has a deep red color due to its high iron content gives Sakurajima ware a subdued elegance and a silver luster. The pottery also offers art workshops using Sakurajima's volcanic ash (reservation required).

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.
