    Kagoshima Pref. Kagoshimashi Shiroyamachou 5-1
    A literature museum located a seven-minute walk from Asahidori Station on the Kagoshima City Tram bound for Kagoshima Station and leaving from JR Kagoshima-Chuo Station. Visitors can come in contact with literary works connected to Kagoshima through the museum’s permanent exhibit, which looks at 28 writers with a particularly strong link to the area. The adjoining Marchen Fairy Tale Museum is fun for adults as well as children, and visitors can feel like they’re in their very own fairy tale through exhibits such as trick art, playground equipment, and seasonal events and decorations. A joint admission ticket which includes entry to both facilities is available.

    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。

    市内市中心部でなかなか訪れる機会のなかった場所で初めて来ました。展示、ビデオ鑑賞、道場見学で構成されていました。ビデオと道場が独特です。訪問者が少ない時だったからかビデオ鑑賞中と道場はスタッフが解説してくれました。屋内とはいえ、道場は下が土で冬は寒いだろうと思いました。地面に立ててある稽古の棒は定期的に倒れてしまい交換だそうです。国内でも関東などの遠方から稽古に来る人もいるとのことでしたが、道場は...

    Kagoshima Ichikikushikino-shi Nomoto 21803
    This museum is located at the entrance of the work tunnels used to carve the underground tanks of the Kushikino National Underground Oil Reserve Base, Japan's first national oil reserve base. The museum is divided into four sections featuring intuitive hands-on exhibits that teach visitors about subjects including petroleum and how the oil reserve base works. The base is comprised of 10 underground oil tanks carved out of the bedrock capable of holding a total of 1.75 million kiloliters of oil. This volume, which is the equivalent volume of around 1.4 Tokyo Domes (a multipurpose stadium), is roughly the amount of oil that Japan uses in about three days.

    鹿児島中央駅前の「若き薩摩の群像」の青年たちがこの港からイギリスへ渡航した。記念館の2階のテラスは船の先端をイメージしたつくりになっており、そこから海を眺め、当時に思いを馳せると気持ちが良い。英国留学についてパネルと映像、当時の史料でコンパクトにまとまっている1階の展示。それに反して2階の企画展示は濃厚だった。留学した個人について、当時の写真や手紙、新聞記事などで説明がされており、これまで歴史の一...

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.
