    星が綺麗なキャンプ場があるとのことで、大隈半島めぐりの帰路で下見に立ち寄ってみました。標高550mの高台なので風が強く少し肌寒い感じでした。風が強いだけあって巨大な風車がいくつもあり、高千穂峰と並んで眺めるのが面白い風景。 輝北天球館では予約すれば星空観察もできます。環境庁主催の星空継続観測で、過去７回...

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.
