    京都から霧島市に引っ越して3年少しですが、お気に入りで何度も訪れています、特に桜の時期は下の駐車場から桜並木が続きトンネル状態になるので、歩いて登るようにしています。今年は見頃の時期だったので上の駐車場は満車となり、大変な行列ができていました。 歩く場合は街の中心部から国分高等学校先の交差点から車道横の歩道を登り続けますが、車でもウーンウーン唸りながら登るくらいなので、結構な角度で登っていくこと...

    Kagoshima Prefecture Isa City Hara 2484-193
    A park situated on a small hill with a view of the city located in Isa City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Famous for its “1,000” cherry trees and two-kilometer-long avenue of cherries, the park was selected for inclusion in a list of Japan's Top 100 Cherry Blossom Spots in 1990. During the peak blooming period, the park is lit up at night with over 1,000 paper lanterns, giving visitors the chance to enjoy beautiful views of cherry blossoms both during the day and in the evening. Facilities include a vast natural grass lawn, children’s square, and playground, and the park bustles with visitors year-round. In addition, the park grounds encompass Tadamoto Shrine, a Shinto shrine dedicated to the Shimazu clan’s greatest military commander, the mighty Niiro Tadamoto; a poem-inscribed monument to Tadamoto can also be found in the park.

    Kagoshima Kirishima-shi Makizonocho Takachiho
    This mountaintop crater lake, praised for its cobalt blue water, is the largest in Japan and is situated on top of the 1,241-meter-high Kirishima Mountains. Found amidst virgin Japanese fir and southern Japanese hemlock forest, a stone-paved mountain trail makes it possible to reach the pond from the trailhead in about 40 minutes. Another walking path circling the pond can be walked in about two hours. Visitors at the beginning of spring can see Japanese witch-hazel and Rhododendron kiusianum blooming in profusion along the crater wall; in autumn, the fall foliage of maples and red pines; and in winter, frost-covered trees.

    Kagoshima Pref. Kirishimashi Hayatochouchi 1487-1

    通りがかりにあった西郷どんが湯治で宿泊した家に立ち寄りました 温泉掛け流しの足湯や物産館も併設されてます 鹿児島郷土[がね]を買ってみました さつま芋入りのかき揚げですね 揚げた姿が「かに（鹿児島弁で がね）」に似ています サクサクで美味しかったです 他の物産は、鹿児島産ではない物も多かったのは、どうかな ? と感じました

Kagoshima Areas

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.
