    Kagoshima Kumage-gun Yakushimacho Hira Uchi 630-4
    This pottery studio is located in Hirauchi, a community on southern Yakushima Island best known for Hirauchi Kaichu Onsen. It produces works colored in stunning blues and greens using an original technique in which the pottery is fired together with coral collected from the sea. The glassy surface is created by coral ash that falls on the pottery in the kiln. This style, which was developed through much trial and error, is characterized by works that brighten up life with vivid natural colors. The studio also offers pottery classes in which participants can create an original work of pottery and finish it with their choice of one of 15 original glazes.

    屋久島の南部、平内海中温泉のすぐ近くにあります。陶芸体験を出来る観光スポットは全国に沢山ありますが、『屋久島の土』を使った陶芸を「手びねり」か「ロクロ」のどちらかを選び体験する事ができます。 私は生まれて初めて「ロクロ」を体験しましたが、職人気質なご主人はロクロの基本動作から練習させてくださいます。 ロクロの場合一人当たり、たっぷり「2キロ」の土を用意して下さり練習を兼ねて小さな物から作ってい...

  • Aiko Mart
    Shopping
    Kagoshima Kumage-gun Yakushimacho Koseda 12-5
    This shop is located in the Koseda district near Yakushima Airport. The shop, which outwardly resembles a convenience store, sells bento boxes, daily necessities, alcoholic beverages, and other items. It is famous for being the official retailer of Aiko, a Yakushima honkaku shochu that during its heyday required getting onto a 10-month waiting list to buy a bottle. This distilled spirit with a noticeably sweet and savory flavor was named after Mt. Aiko, the mountain that towers behind the shop. Supplies of the 200 milliliter single serving bottles are limited to just two per customer. The shop carries a full lineup of shochu including the premium Satsuma sweet potato shochu Mitake.

    Kagoshima Kumage-gun Yakushimacho Koseda 324-31
    "This copper-roofed shop located next to Yakushima Airport specializes in Yakusugi cedar woodcrafts. It manufactures and sells works of Yakusugi cedar woodcraft, which has been designated as a traditional handicraft of Kagoshima. This handicraft leverages the natural beauty of Yakusugi cedar, which has long been revered as sacred by the people of Yakushima Island. Cutting down live Yakusugi cedar trees has been banned, so the vast majority of Yakusugi cedar used today comes from ""domaiboku,"" which refers to the stumps of trees felled during the Edo period. The shop exhibits chopsticks, accessories, plates, pots, and other woodcrafts that capitalize on the beautiful wood grain and the appealing decayed appearance of Yakusugi cedar. It is also possible to try your hand at carving a pair of chopsticks out of thousand-year-old Yakusugi cedar (age 11 and up)."

  • Tanegashima Shuzo
    Shopping
    Kagoshima Nishinoomote Nishinoomote 13589-3
    "A venerable distillery founded in 1903. It is located almost in the center of Tanegashima Island along Prefectural Route 76. It employs the ""Kametsubo Jikomi"" (earthenware vat) method of making shochu (sweet potato liquor) and has used the same old-style earthenware vats for many years. In addition, the shochu is made from sweet potatoes grown organically on the company's own 45-hectare farm. The water used in the manufacturing process comes from deep groundwater in the paleogenic geological layer 306 meters beneath the distillery, the so-called Takenota Spring. The great care that the distillery takes with the ingredients and the manufacturing process is one of the things that attracts customers. The finished shochu is known for its deep and mellow flavor. Visitors who make reservations ahead of time can tour the distillery, and the associated shop offers tasting sessions."

    Kagoshima Nishinoomote Ikeda 9881
    A studio that continue to make Tanegashima iron and Tanegashima kitchen knives, which Kagoshima Prefecture has designated as Prefectural Traditional Crafts. It is located along Prefectural Route 582, about an eight-minute walk from Nishinoomote Port. In 1543, the same year that guns were first brought to Japan, the islanders learned steel-making technology from a Chinese metal smith who happened to be on board a Portuguese ship. The traditional Tanegashima technology that developed out of what the Chinese metal smith taught the islanders has been handed down to the present day. Bladed implements, such as scissors and kitchen knives are sold in the studio, and traditional objects, such as old rifles, are on display. Visitors who make reservations in advance can tour the plant. Even viewing a video introduction of part of the process of making things like scissors and kitchen knives can teach visitors about Tanegashima's traditional crafts.

    Kagoshima Kumage-gun Yakushimacho Anbo 650-113

    おしゃれなお土産屋さんというより、昔からあるお土産屋さんという雰囲気で、お客さんもどちらかというと、高齢者のツアー客が多いように感じました。しかしその分、ばら撒き用のお菓子やTシャツ、ポストカード、屋久杉の加工品、マグカップといったお土産の定番品が手に入りやすいです。近くには他にもお土産屋さんの武田館もあり、時間が許せばどちらも見てみるといいと思います。

    屋久杉工芸のお店をいくつか周りましたが、ほとんどの店が古臭い置物や食器などを展示しており、おまけに「屋久杉」と焼印が入っているものがおおく、いかにもダサい土産物で気にいることはありませんでした。ところが、この「木心里」さんは実にセンスが良いです。 小さな屋久杉を使ったヘアゴムやストラップなどリーズナブルな価格でした。 写真立てや一輪挿しも実に洗練されたデザインでした。 作品は若い元山師（木こり）と...

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.
