    天草下島の牛深港からフェリーに乗り、長島の蔵之元港に着きました。蔵之元港からは、国道を南下して九州本土を目指して走り始めました。蔵之元港を出発して数km。道の駅長島に着きました。 道の駅長島は海沿いの高台に位置しています。小さな道の駅ですが、目の前には東シナ海の大海原が広がっていて、素晴らしい眺めでした。

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.
