    吉松駅は比較的大きな駅ですが、その外にこじんまりとあります。自動ドアではないので、自力であけて入って問題ありません。水曜日は近くの売店と合わせて定休日のようなので、注意が必要かと思われます。最寄りのコンビニまではあるいて10分ほどかかります。

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.
