7 of Japan's Natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites
-
- In total, Japan is home to 34 national parks, which can be found across the archipelago from Hokkaido to Okinawa. But only a handful have been designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites for their natural beauty and biodiversity. In this article, we’ll introduce you to seven of them, including what you can expect to see, how to get there and where to base yourself while visiting the national park. Shiretoko National Park Shiretoko National Park Encompassing most of the Shiretoko Peninsula at the northeastern tip of Hokkaidō, Shiretoko National Park is one of the most remote regions of Japan. It features unspoiled landscapes, a variety of wildlife (including a large population of brown bears) and is one of the southernmost places in the Northern Hemisphere to see drift ice. Hiking trails wind through its temperate and subalpine forests, which are dominated by Erman’s birch, Sakhalin fir, and Mongolian oak, as well as to the Kamuiwakka Hot Falls from which warm spring water cascades. Due to its remote location, Shiretoko National Park is difficult to access independently, so it’s recommended that you visit with a tour or hire a rental car. The closest railway stations are JR Shari Station and JR Shiretoko Shari Station, with buses connecting from both stations to the national park. Shiretoko National Park [Access] From Memanbetsu Airport in Hokkaido, take the Shiretoko Airport Liner bus for 2 hours and 15 minutes. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Hokkaido Kushiro Airport to JR Kushiro Station, then change to JR Kushiro Main Line to JR Shiretoko Shari Station (about two hours), followed by the Shiretoko Line bus (one hour). Nikko National Park Nikko National Park Much easier to access is Nikko National Park, which encompasses mountains, lakes, waterfalls, wetlands, and marshes in the Kantō region. It sprawls across four prefectures - Tochigi, Gunma, Fukushima, and Niigata - and was designated as an imperial park in 1911. Aside from its spectacular scenery which can be explored on a network of hiking trails, Nikko is also famed for its historic Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines designated as UNESCO World Heritage Site. That include the Nikkō Tōshō-gū which most of the shrine complex seen today was renewed in the 17th century and Rinnō-ji that was said to be built in the 8th century. Autumn foliage in Nikko National Park are particularly impressive, so does the 97-meter-high Kegon Falls and the twin cascades of Ryuzu Falls. Also, not to miss in Nikko are the sparkling waters of Lake Chūzenji, which is backed by the 2,486-meter peak of Mount Nantai. Nikko National Park [Access] If you have a JR pass, take the Shinkansen(bullet train) from Tokyo Station to Utsunomiya Station, then change to JR Nikko Line which takes about 2 hours in total. Alternatively, you can ride the Tobu Railway's Limited Express from Asakusa Station and change at Shimo-Imaichi Station before continuing on the journey to Nikko Station (total ride is about two hours). Ogasawara National Park Ogasawara National Park While the Ogasawara Islands, a chain of volcanic islands are technically part of Tokyo, they lie around 1,000 kilometers south of the city in the Pacific Ocean. Only the two largest islands, Chichijima (Father island) and Hahajima (Mother Island) are inhabited. Following U.S. occupation during World War II, the archipelago was returned to Japan in 1968 and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2011. Ogasawara National Park’s subtropical islands are home to several endemic species, including the critically endangered Bonin flying fox and the Ogasawara snake-eyed skink. The surrounding waters provide habitat for humpback whales and dolphins, as well as green sea turtles and a variety of tropical fishes. Highlights of visiting the islands include snorkeling on the coral reefs, seeing sea turtles laying their eggs on the sandy beaches (during the breeding season only) and soaking up the views of Futami Port from the top of Mount Asahi. Ogasawara National Park With no airports on the two largest islands, Chichijima and Hahajima, transportation to the those islands are only possible by ship. About once a week, the Ogasawara Maru ocean liner departs from Tokyo Takeshiba Pier and stays in Chichijima for three nights. It departs from Tokyo Takeshiba Pier at 11am arriving at Chichijima the next day at 11am. And makes the return journey departing the island at 3pm, arriving at Tokyo Takeshiba Pier around 24 hours later. If you’re planning to make the trip, the total journey takes five nights and six days. The timetable may change so its best to check its official webpage from here. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park One of the most popular national parks in Japan for both locals and visiting tourists is undoubtedly Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park. It centers around the iconic peak of Mount Fuji and Fuji Five Lakes, as well as comprising Hakone, the Izu Peninsula, and the Izu Shichito Islands. Rather than being a single area, the park is a collection of dispersed tourist sites that encompass a variety of natural features - hot springs, coastlines, mountains, lakes, and more than 1,000 volcanic islands. Highlights of the national park include hiking to the top of Mount Fuji to see the sunrise across Japan and photographing the cherry blossoms along the shores of Lake Kawaguchi. Impressive views of Mount Fuji can be enjoyed from the hiking trails of the Owakudani Valley while there are magnificent panoramas of the Izu Shichito Islands from the rugged Cape Irozaki. Several picturesque waterfalls also dot the national park, including Kawazunanadaru Falls and Shiraito-no-taki Falls. Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park [Access] About two hours onboard the JR or Fujikyu train from Tokyo to the Mt. Fuji area; about two hours onboard the Odakyu Limited Express train to the Hakone area; about three hours onboard the JR Limited Express Odoriko to Shimoda on the Izu Peninsula. Yoshino-Kumano National Park Yoshino-Kumano National Park Stretching from north to south across the Kii Peninsula, Yoshino-Kumano National Park is gradually increasing in popularity with tourists due to its Kumano Kodo pilgrimage route. The park encompasses Nara, Wakayama and Mie prefectures and includes the summit of Mount Yoshino, which is famed for its thousands of sakura trees that ignite in pink and white during the cherry blossom season. Highlights of Yoshino-Kumano National Park include the UNESCO-listed Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine, which is one of the three Kumano shrines accessed on the Kumano Kodo. Rather than being a single trail, the Kumano Kodo is a network of pilgrimage trails that have been accessed for more than 1,000 years by devotees as a religious purification rite.Aside from its picturesque natural landscapes and pilgrimage route, the Kii Peninsula’s surrounding coastline is fast becoming a leading dive destination in Japan, with a rich diversity of corals and tropical fish flourishing under the influence of the Kuroshio Current. Yoshino-Kumano National Park [Access] Take the Kintetsu Limited Express from Kyoto or Osaka for about 90 minutes. There are various ways to reach the trails of the Kumano Kodo, with Kumanoshi Ekimae accessible in around 3 hours 30 minutes by express bus from Nagoya. Setonaikai National Park Setonaikai National Park Setonaikai National Park is the biggest national park in Japan, encompassing parts of the mainland and the Seto Inland Sea between the Chugoku and Shikoku regions. It’s home to one of the country’s most famous cycling routes - the Shimanami Kaido highway - which connects the park’s various islands across a network of bridges. Beginning in Onomichi City and passing through several charming towns, it extends over 60 kilometers and offers cyclers sweeping views across the Seto Inland Sea. Setonaikai National Park Highlights of the Setonaikai National Park include hiking to the ancient worship center of Mount Misen and taking in the views of the Bisan-Seto Strait from the Goshikidai Plateau. Coincide your visit with low tide to walk between the Karanijima Islands and photograph the famed “floating” torii gate of Itsukushima Shrine, one of Hayashi Gahō's “Three Views of Japan”. You can experience the Naruto Whirlpools (which are Japan’s fastest) by boat or from the Naruto Bridge, with pleasure cruises also exploring the natural scenery of the Kanmon Straits between Kyushu and Honshu. Yakushima National Park Yakushima National Park Encompassing parts of the Ōsumi Islands, Kuchinoerabu-jima and Tanegashima, Yakushima National Park is a spectacular protected area in Kyushu’s Kagoshima Prefecture. It’s famed for the Yakusugi, a Japanese cedar that’s more than 1,000 years old, as well as the Jomonsugi, the oldest and largest among the old-growth cryptomeria trees in Yakushima. Daiousugi cedar and Mount Miyanoura (1,936m), which is the highest mountain in central Kyushu has been designated as one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, is also something to take a note of. When it comes to wildlife, Yakushima National Park is home to the endangered Ryukyu flying fox and its own subspecies of Japanese macaque, while loggerhead sea turtles visit seasonally to lay their eggs on the beaches.The best way to explore Yakushima National Park is by foot with one of the local tour operators. Single-day and multi-day trips are available taking you to the highlights of the national park, without having to worry about public transport logistics. Yakushima National Park [Access] About 40 minutes by plane from Kagoshima Airport or about two hours by high-speed ship from Kagoshima Honko Port. There are direct flights to Kagoshima Airport from Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya and Tokyo. Read more: Japan’s Most Beautiful National Parks ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

33 of the Best Things to Do in Okinawa
-
- Okinawa is Japan’s top island resort destination. The water’s warm enough to swim from the end of March to the middle of October, so beach lovers and water sports enthusiasts alike flock to the prefecture for its enviable climate. But Okinawa offers much more than pristine beaches. Whether its expansive castles, buzzing nightlife, or mouthwatering delicacies, Okinawa is a treasure trove of delightful experiences. In this article we’ll go over 31 of the best things to do in Okinawa, to ensure you get the most out of your trip. 1 Visit Shurijo Castle World Heritage Site Shurijo Castle Shurijo Castle was originally built in the 14th century as the palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom. A distinguishable trait is the gusuku stone walls surrounding the castle, which are made especially captivating by the nightly illuminations. Ryukyu Buyo, a traditional dance style unique to Okinawa, can also be seen at the castle on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, when they offer 3 performances a day. Shuri Castle Festival is a yearly event that takes place in late October/early November, offering royal processions and candlelight paths. Nakijin Castle The Nakijin Cherry Blossom Festival is another annual event in late January/early February that features bright sakura against the gusuku walls of Nakijin Castle Remains, as well as nighttime illuminations Nakijin Castle 2 Explore Kokusai Dori Kokusai Dori Known as the main street of Naha City, Kokusai Dori, which literally translates to International Street, has it all. Stop in one of its steak houses or browse through a glassware shop before heading into one of the multitudes of clothing and souvenir stores. The bustling strip stays open until around 11 p.m., so you can grab dinner and wait until the heat dies down to do some more shopping or find another bar to try. Kokusai Dori Kokusai Dori 3 Stop by a Local Supermarket Don Quijote San-A Naha Main Place is the supermarket that the locals use. They have an expansive selection of everything from clothing to sushi, all at reasonable prices. So you can save that extra yen for another purple sweet potato tart. Don Quijote on Kokusai Dori also carries everyday items as well as an impressive collection of souvenirs, in addition to their more eccentric items. But both locations are great for getting the crumbly chinsuko cookies and purple sweet potato tarts that are Okinawa souvenir staples. Don Quijote Don Quijote 4 Check Out Naha’s Kitchen: First Makishi Public Market First Makishi Public Market The Makishi Public Market is a retro-style covered shopping area that’s home to an array of stands selling fresh shellfish, local delicacies and colorful produce. First Makishi Public Market One thing you don’t want to miss while you’re browsing is the pork tamago, which is actually Spam and egg fried together. It’s a specialty of Okinawa, and Pork Tamago Onigiri Honten is known far and wide for their pork tamago rice balls. The cozy shop offers all kinds of styles, so you can grab one and continue exploring the alley of Makishi. Pork Tamago Onigiri Honten 5 Okinawa Food Okinawa soba Okinawa soba comes in a lot of styles, but the base noodles are made of wheat instead of buckwheat, and they sit in a savory soup, usually topped with pork. Then there’s rafute, which is a pork rib that’s stewed in brown sugar and soy sauce, for a slightly-sweet and filling dish. Next up ischampurū, which is stir fry that usually has spam, eggs and bitter melon. Sata andagi are deep fried dough that are like doughnut holes, but they’re crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Jimami-dofu is tofu made from peanuts instead of soybeans, giving it a mild sweetness and bouncy texture. Umibudo, or sea grapes, are actually a type of seaweed with little globes that look like grapes, and they normally come with vinegar or soy sauce to dip. rafute champurū 6 Churaumi Aquarium Churaumi Aquarium The crown jewel of the Churaumi Aquarium is the Kuroshio Sea Tank. One of the largest such tanks in the world, it stretches 35 meters long and 10 meters deep, housing whale sharks and manta rays that glide by for a truly surreal experience. After the aquarium, don’t forget to check out the Ocean Expo Park, as it has not only dolphin shows, but also a planetarium and a few cafes and restaurants for a nice recharge. Churaumi Aquarium Churaumi Aquarium 7 Gyokusendo Cave Gyokusendo Cave Located inside Okinawa World theme park, Gyokusendo Cave is the second-largest cave in all of Japan at over 5,000 meters long. It has over 1 million stalactites, the most of any cave in the country, as well as dozens of unique rock formations and natural pools that are situated around an easy walkway, making for excellent pictures. If you’re visiting Okinawa, then this natural wonder should definitely be on your list. Gyokusendo Cave 8 Visit Kouri Island Kouri Bridge Kouri Island is a scenic little getaway that only takes about 20 minutes to circumnavigate in a car. Aside from the emerald ocean and pristine beaches, this island is famous for another reason: Heart Rock. This adorable rock formation is, as you may have guessed, shaped like a heart, and it’s begging to be added to your Instagram and social media accounts. But just getting to Kouri Island is half the fun. It’s connected to Yagaji Island by Kouri Bridge, which stretches 1,960 meters and gives a breathtaking driving experience as you ride along the water’s edge. And it’s all completely free. Kouri Bridge Heart Rock 9 Get in Touch with Nature at Yambaru National Park Yambaru National Park This expansive park covers over 13,000 hectares and is full of hiking and local wildlife. One experience you can’t miss is kayaking through Gesashi Bay Mangrove Forest, though. Once you trek through to the biggest mangrove tree in Japan, you should take advantage of the guided river kayak tours to get another view of the park. Yambaru National Park For another adventure, there’s a guided night trek through the Uwaga Jungle. Discover the vibrant flora and fauna of Okinawa armed with only a flashlight. Uwaga Jungle 10 Head to the Beaches on Okinawa Main Island Beach This is what you came for. The Main Island of Okinawa has several beaches that are all easy to access and have their own distinct atmosphere. Mibaru Beach is a low-key spot for snorkeling and coral reef tour in a glass-bottomed boat. Sunset Beach is next to American Village and has a little more action, as well as paddle boards for rent. Sesoko Beach is a laid-back atmosphere to watch the sun set into the ocean. Emerald Beach is white sand and clear water for your tropical getaway. And that’s just to name a few. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Onsen Hopping in Kyushu
-
- With its dense population of bubbling volcanic sources, Japan is arguably one of the major hot spring destinations of the world and is said to have more hot springs than any other country, with a large percentage of them in Kyushu. From the hot spring sands of Ibusuki to the hidden local bathing towns of Yufuin, there’s a seemingly endless supply of hot spring water pumping through this less traveled Island, and here are just a handful of our favorites. Tsuetate Onsen Town, Kumamoto Tsuetate Onsen Town, Kumamoto In the far north of Kumamoto, deep inside a steaming valley crevasse is where you’ll find Tsuetate, an onsen town, and resort filled with healing water and a fascinating history. The origin of this onsen town goes back to the 1800s, and throughout its lifetime its role has changed many times. Once considered a luxury travel destination, and often referred to as ‘Kyushu’s inner sanctum,’ it was where the area’s high society folk came to unwind. Today it’s open to visitors from all walks of life and makes for an excellent place to explore Kyushu’s hot spring legacy. Tsuetate has several small ryokans and bathhouses making it a comfortable day trip spot, or a worthy weekend destination. If you do make it, be sure to try onsen vegetable steaming, and snap some unique photos of The Maple Bridge impressive collection of wooden e-goi plaques covered in wishes. Beppu Area, Oita Beppu Area, Oita Located in the northeast of Kyushu, Oita Prefecture is a hotbed of hot spring activity, and the town of Beppu is the unofficial headquarters. With so many onsen outlets, it can be difficult to decide where to begin, so let’s run through some of the best. With its steam billowing along the mountainside, Horita Onsen area is one of Beppu’s most picturesque. Great for young people and families, this area has several onsen facilities, which are cheap to enter (210 yen for adults and 100 yen for children) and allow guests with tattoos. Named after a nearby waterfall (which is well worth a visit) Shiraito no Taki is perfect for those wanting to bathe with opposite-sex companions in a private setting. This onsen requires guests to rent a private room for a fee of 1,000 yen for 50 minutes. For a more community-centric experience, The Kannawa Onsen area is where you should head. A neighborhood crafted from winding alleys smothered in clouds of steam, Kannawa Onsen is where the locals go for their regular wind-down bath. There are many bathhouses to choose from here, making it perfect for an evening of bath-crawling. Yufuin, Oita Yufuin, Oita A little more compact compared to its neighbor Beppu, Oita’s city of Yufuin is perfect for those who want to feel like they’ve discovered a well-kept hot spring secret. Located at the base of Mt. Yufu, some of the area’s baths offer views of Lake Kinrinko and Mt. Yufu. Not for the faint of heart, or those prone to overheating, Yufuin’s baths tend to lean on the hotter side, with water sitting around the 40C+ mark. Once you’ve had a soak, head over to the shopping district of Yorozuya to browse the local craft shops and pick up some traditional Japanese pottery. Hinagu Onsen Town Hinagu Onsen Town Sitting on the southern side of Kumamoto, near the ocean is where you’ll find Hinagu Onsen Town. Far from a major tourist attraction, Hinagu Onsen is excellent for those who want a more low key side of Kyushu. Make an effort to explore, and you’ll realize that this is a town full of hidden surprises and endearing local charm. The major bath complex is Hinagu Onsen, which also houses a restaurant, a snack bar, and a gift shop. Kurokawa Onsen, Minamioguni, Kumamoto Kurokawa Onsen, Minamioguni, Kumamoto In the mountains north of Aso caldera, Kurokawa Onsen was a booming tourist destination in the 1960s. Today, it’s a charming, rustic local onsen town with something for all traveling types. Somehow managing to avoid the influence of significant redevelopment due to tourism, the area feels almost untouched. You won’t find any monolithic concrete hotels, neon signs, or major convenience stores, but rather a collection of locally run businesses proud of their community-centric heritage. Perfect for enjoying the natural beauty of Kyushu, the area is famous for its outdoor hot spring baths, and almost all of the town’s ryokan have at least one. If you’re looking to disconnect from the manic energy of the city, and truly refresh and reconnect with nature, this is the place to do it. Kumamoto Ibusuki Sand Bath Kumamoto Ibusuki Sand Bath For something a little different, the Saraku Sand Bath Hall in Ibusuki is a novel adventure. Dressed in a yukata, guests are buried underneath piles of heated sand powered by the nearby volcanic activity. The combination of sand weight, heat, and high sodium content are said to improve blood circulation, digestive problems, rheumatism, neuralgia, and to rid the body of toxins. Given that it’s an experience near impossible to find anywhere else in the world, if you’re in the area it’s well worth trying at least once. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

The Jomonsugi Trail
-
- This trail is named after Yakushima’s favorite attraction, Jomonsugui, a wide cedar tree that’s estimated to be somewhere between 2000-7200 years old. Dating all the way back to the Jomon period, and discovered by loggers in the Edo-period, today hikers, adventurers, and tourists make the pilgrimage to the top of Miyanoura mountain to marvel at this time-defying phenomena.

The Most Beautiful Gorges in Japan
-
- Although most associated with the towering skyscrapers of Shinjuku, and the neon lights of Akihabara, make the effort to heard out of the city and you’ll realize Japan is home to superb pockets of untouched natural beauty. From the roaring waterfalls of Aomori up north to the inspiring beauty of southern Yakushima, here are some of the country’s most stunning gorges. Oirase Gorge Aomori Oirase Gorge Aomori Dotted with waterfalls, covered in lush foliage, and practically untouched by man, Oirase Gorge in Aomori Prefecture is generally considered done of Japan’s most beautiful river valleys. It’s an excellent place for a day out and about exploring. To minimize your impact on the land and to get an immersive view of the area, leave the car behind and take the journey either by foot on rental bike, available at the Oirase visitor center. There’s plenty to see along the way, but keep a lookout for the 25-meter high Kumoi-no-Taki Falls, and the Tamasudare-no-Taki Falls where the water that flows from Lake Towada is forced down the fall in spheres, creating a natural optical illusion. Once you're done be sure to stop off at Hoshino Resorts Oirase Keiryu to soak those tired muscles in hot spring water and treat yourself to tea and sweets. Kiyotsukyo Gorge Kiyotsukyo Gorge Tucked between the towering cliffs of Yuzawa in Niigata sits Kiyotsukyo Gorge. The sharp angles of the mountainsides come together to craft an almost perfect V formation. The cliff faces are separated by a roaring passageway of brilliant blue rapids and covered in a smattering of vibrant, green foliage, it’s a nature photographer’s dream. Look up close, and you’ll notice that the gorge’s texture is somewhat unique, it’s made from what’s called ‘columnar jointing’ a result of an underwater volcanic eruption that took place about 16 million years ago. To really take it all in, head over to one of the four viewing areas in the Kiyotsukyo Tunnel Museum for a better view. Shiratani Unsuikyo Shiratani Unsuikyo Yakushima’s Shiratani Unsuikyo Ravine is so beautiful it’s said to have inspired the iconic Studio Ghibli film Princess Mononoke. During the making of the film, the lead artist Kazuo Oga spent countless hours in the area, sketching tirelessly to recreate the scenery's unparalleled beauty. Although rather untouched by human construction, the gorge has some easy trails to follow, making it accessible for non-experienced hikers, but there are longer, more arduous paths, including around 10-hour journey for those looking for a challenge. Takachiho Gorge Takachiho Gorge Located in Miyazaki Prefecture, Takachiho Gorge is such a popular and important religious site that it attracts one million visitors annually. Ruggedly beautiful, the towering walls were formed from volcanic basalt columns, where roaring waterfalls cascade down the cliff faces into the river beneath. There are two main ways to witness the beauty of this landscape; via the paved path running high along the edge of the cliffs, or for a different perspective you can take a cruise down the river by boat. For something truly special, during the summer months, Takachiho Gorge is illuminated after dark offering incredible nighttime viewing. Geibikei Gorge Geibikei Gorge Sitting just outside Hiraizumi in Iwate Prefecture, is a peaceful lush foilage flanked gorge with calm waters and incredible views that transform with the passing seasons. Not to be confused with the nearby Genbikei Gorge, Geibikei Gorge is also home to Geibikei Gorge Boat Trip, a 90 minute cruise that allows visitors to really enjoy the landscape; fiery red in fall, creeping wisteria blossoms in May and crisp, clear skies in winter, it seems there’s no bad time of year in Iwate. If you’re worried about the cold winter days, don’t, because many of the cruise boats also serve Kinagashi Nabe, a hearty hot pot, miso soup based dish of meat, tofu, and other seasonal ingredients. ©NAVITIME JAPAN.

Day Trips from Kagoshima City
-
- As the volcano capital of Japan, much of Kagoshima Prefecture is dominated by its unique scenery of smoking peaks which stand imposingly behind far-reaching beaches. The geography of Kagoshima is also to thank for its pristine waters which result in perfectly blue waters, delicious food, and irresistible naturally heated springs and sand that offer invigorating days out from Kagoshima City. Sakurajima Sakurajima Sakurajima is one of the icons of Kagoshima Prefecture. Found in the middle of Kagoshima Bay between Kagoshima City and Osumi Peninsula, Sakurajima is an active volcano that can be seen puffing smoke onto its surroundings as it erupts several times a day. While it’s likely you’ll get caught in a shower of ash, the island is safe to visit and is a common day trip from Kagoshima City which is just a 15-minute ferry ride away. With the main event being the awe of getting so close to one of the world’s most active volcanoes, visitors can take a bus, car, or bike between observatories, onsen, and parks around the island. Ibusuki Sand Onsen Ibusuki Sand Onsen Satsuma Peninsula in the west of Kagoshima Prefecture is home to one of the most sought-after onsen experiences: the sand onsen. With naturally heated sand covering much of the southeastern corner of the peninsula, visitors are invited to change into a yukata and then buried under the warm sand. Said to be much more effective than the usual water onsen for giving you energy and healing ailments, it is recommended to stay in for just 10 to 20 minutes. Ibusuki Onsen is the best known of the peninsula’s sand onsen which can be reached in a couple of hours from Kagoshima City by train, bus, or car. However, the lesser known Tamatebako Hot Spring is worth the extra trip for its unbeatable outdoor water onsen which is positioned along the beach overlooking Kaimondake Volcano. Kaimondake Volcano Kaimondake Volcano There is no shortage of volcanoes to be seen in Kagoshima Prefecture but heading all the way down to the bottom of Satsuma Peninsula will bring you to the perfectly pointed Kaimondake Volcano. Fondly nicknamed “Satsuma Fuji”, the 924-meter high peak not only makes for spectacular scenery, especially from the warming waters of Tamatebako Hot Spring, but is also a great hiking spot for those wanting the breathtaking view over Japan’s most southern point. At 2.6 miles from top to bottom, the climb is a good five to six hours there and back and it’s a steep ascent so be prepared with walking gear and a day’s worth of food and water. Osumi Peninsula Osumi Peninsula While many of Kagoshima’s sights lie to the west of the prefecture down Satsuma Peninsula, Osumi Peninsula in the east is home to its fair share of natural splendors, not to mention fantastic views over Sakurajima from its eastern coast. The immaculate Ogawa no Taki Falls lie halfway down the peninsula tucked away in thickly forested mountains, while heading to the very south of the peninsula - the most southerly point of mainland Japan - brings you to Cape Sata. Marked by the country’s oldest lighthouse, the cape over the ocean back onto the Satsuma Peninsula’s Kaimondake Volcano and the southern islands including Yakushima and Tanegashima. Beaches Beaches As the most southerly of mainland Japan’s prefectures, Kagoshima offers plenty of beach weather for the sun worshippers among us. Stretches of sand line the coast all around the prefecture making for the perfect lunch spot. However, the most appealing of the beaches are those that sit above naturally heated water including at Ibusuki and the Fushime coast which both offer sand baths.Kagoshima is also home to more than a dozen islands that sit off the southern coast with Yakushima, Tanegashima, and Amami Oshima some of the most noteworthy. The idyllic beaches of the islands promise white sand, warm waters, and snorkeling opportunities aplenty. ©NAVITIME JAPAN. Travel Info Check out our travel tips to make your trip better!

Somen Noodles Nagashi in Kagoshima
-
- Down in the most southerly of Japan’s prefectures, the hot summers invite a cooling menu with chilled somen noodles an all time favorite. Kagoshima Prefecture is the birthplace of a unique eating experience where customers’ chopstick skills are put to the test as they catch the fine somen noodles as they flow past at their own table. If Ibusuki Sand Onsen, Lake Ikeda, or Kaimondake volcano are on your itinerary, Tosenkyo somen nagashi restaurant is the place to head for lunch. Somen Noodles Nagashi in Kagoshima Nagashi somen, which translates as “flowing noodles”, is a traditional practice of eating noodles in summer where a bamboo gutter is set out like a water slide and noodles are sent down to be caught with chopsticks on the way past. Kagoshima Prefecture has reinvented this centuries-old summer custom to work at your own table in a restaurant: Each table has its own circular version of the bamboo gutter filled with crystal clear water which somen noodles - fine, white wheat flour noodles - are placed into. This otherwise plain dish becomes a much sought after treat once caught and dunked in the irresistible somen dipping sauce.

How to Rent a City Bike in Kagoshima
-
- With its sights spread out across the city and beyond, day trips around Kagoshima are made that much easier with access to a bike. The Kagorin city bikes are located at 25 different spots around Kagoshima City with almost 200 bikes ready to pick up and drop off as you please making it easy to hop from the stations to the museums and shopping areas in town and even onto the Senganen Garden if you opt for a full day of cycling. 1 - Pick up a user guide 1 - Pick up a user guide Firstly, head to your nearest Kagorin bike port and pick up a user guide. This will take you through the step-by-step process of signing up to use the bikes so you can get started as soon as possible. The user guide also includes information about what to do if there are any problems with a Kagorin bike, including damage and theft. 1 - Pick up a user guide 2 - Plan your route 2 - Plan your route A map of the Kagorin bike ports across the city can be found at every docking station, as well as the name and number of the station you are currently visiting. From here, you can plan your route to a different part of the city dropping the bike off at the bike port closest to your desired destination. Visitors planning to go as far as Senganen Garden will need to prepare to spend a little more as there are no bike ports in the vicinity, so an extra 100 yen will be charged for each 30 minutes that you have the bike. So, for example, if you are using the bike for three hours between picking it up and dropping it off this will set you back 700 yen for the day: a 200-yen sign up fee, a first free 30 minutes, then 2.5 hours at 100 yen per 30 minutes. 3 - Register for Kagorin 3 - Register for Kagorin As it’s required to have a Japanese mobile phone to receive a confirmation message for signing up, the next step is either to register at the machine at the docking station with your mobile phone or to head to the Tenmonkan area where the Takapura branch of the travel agency JTB will help you get signed up with a Kagorin IC Card.If you’ve opted to register at one of the docking station’s machines, this shouldn’t prove difficult. Switch the screen to English and click the “Rental” button for the best deal. After entering the code that is sent to your mobile phone, you’ll have the option to choose how long you would like to sign up to the Kagorin bikes, which is either one day for 200 yen or one month for 1,000 yen. 4 - Pay for registration 4 - Pay for registration A lot of machines only accept cards, however, if there is an option to pay by cash you’ll need the exact change in 100 yen coins. Kagorin registration costs 200 yen for one day or 1,000 yen for a month. Once you’re signed up, you can use any bike from any station as many times as you like for free as long as the journey is under 30 minutes. Any journey longer than 30 minutes will incur a charge of 100 yen for every extra 30 minutes. The registration fee is the only payment you’ll need to make in this first step and any further charges are paid when you return the bike to a bike port. 5 - On your bike! 5 - On your bike! Once you’ve paid, the bike port machine will let you know which number bike has been released for your use. Adjust your seat, check the breaks, and get cycling! Remember, in Japan the traffic drives on the left and you’ll be expected to follow the traffic laws. Official Website: KAGORIN ©NAVITIME JAPAN.
