    Kagoshima Pref. Kagoshimashi Sakurajimayokoyamachou 1722-48
    A roadside station located at the entrance to Sakurajima floating in Kagoshima Bay. At the adjoining Hinoshima Megumi-kan building, visitors can enjoy unique Sakurajima home cooking and purchase local specialty products. Of particular note is the Sakurajima komikan orange, said to have been brought to Sakurajima 400 years ago by Shimazu Yoshihiro, lord of Satsuma Domain. The smallest mikan (mandarin) orange in the world, its simple flavor is very close to that of the uncultivated ancestor to modern mikan oranges. Located along National Route 224.

    営業時間が短く閉店時間が早い。「帰りに」とが「後で」と思っていたら閉まってしまいます。24時間運航している桜島フェリーの乗場から徒歩3分程度の場所にあるのに利用できませんでした。

    鹿児島市内からレンタカーで指宿方面に行くに道沿いだったので立ち寄りました。地元で生産された野菜がたくさん並んでいたり、よくあるパターンの道の駅だと思います。温泉施設みたいなのが併設されていますが、指宿行く観光客にはそれほど魅力的ではないかも。

    ツアーバスで立ち寄りました。巨大な桜島大根のオブジェが2か所あるので記念写真の撮影には良いと思います。ちょっと寂れた雰囲気ですが、昭和な感じのドライブインで心が和みます。12月の桜島小ミカンの季節だったのですが、店の中で集配を行っています。1箱2500円くらいなので2箱東京へ送りました。ネットでもなかなか手に入らないのと、現地で味の確認もできるので安心です。とても甘くておいしかったです。贈答用とは...

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.
