鹿児島では有名な武家屋敷らしいが、武家屋敷はその物はなく、通りと石垣が残っている。小さく、静かな通りや川沿いを歩くのも１興である。

- Site of Nomanoseki Border Checkpoint

- Kagoshima Izumi-shi Shimosabacho 2577
- "This plaza located about a 10-minute drive from JR Izumi Station was the site of the border checkpoint that was entrance to the Satsuma Domain. The region so strictly controlled its borders during Edo period that it was called ""an isolated country within an isolated country."" Describing the excessive strictness, the late Edo period scholar Takayama Hikokuro wrote ""the people of Satsuma know nothing of the world beyond the Karikaya no Seki Checkpoint."" The site of the checkpoint is currently designated as an Izumi City monument. A stone monument was erected in order to convey the existence of the checkpoint to future generations. The old well nearby still looks as it did during the Edo period. The scenic plaza blooms with cherry blossoms in the spring, making it a popular photo opportunity."

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.
