Tourism EXPO Japan 2025 Aichi/Central Japan
Kagoshima Four-City
Rich nature, delicious food, and friendly people. Kagoshima, a tropical land where you can relax both your mind and body. How about a trip to the four cities of Kagoshima City, Kirishima City, Ibusuki City, and Minamikyushu City, which offer a well-balanced mix of all the charms of Kagoshima?
Here are some recommended topics for each city!
【Kagoshima City】
In March of this year, JR Kyushu opened a new station called "Sengan-en Station." Located just 10 minutes from Kagoshima Chuo Station, where the Shinkansen arrives, the station offers convenient access to the area. The area surrounding the station, including the Shimazu family's former villa "Sengan-en," is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its registration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name "Meiji Japan's Industrial Revolution Heritage." This is a hotspot where you can experience the diverse charms of Kagoshima's history, culture, and cuisine.
【Kirishima City】
There is a bus called the "Kirishima Shrine Access Bus" that connects Kagoshima Airport to major tourist spots such as Kirishima Onsenkyo, Kirishima Shrine, and Kirishima Shrine Station without any transfers.
You can use the "Kirishima Nottari Oritari My Plan" one-day pass to explore the Kirishima area by local bus. Please make use of this when visiting Kirishima City.
【Ibusuki City】
In June of this year, Ibusuki announced a new gourmet dish that embodies the essence of Ibusuki, called "Retropical Gourmet." This dish uses at least one locally produced agricultural or marine product, allowing you to enjoy the local flavors and atmosphere. If you're wondering what "Retropical" means, please give it a try!
【Minamikyushu City】
"Minatabi" is a tourism experience reservation site that proposes a new travel style that connects visitors with the local community by enjoying the charm of the region with all five senses. One of the most recommended facilities available for reservation on "Minatabi" is "Adventure Park Mori no Kawanabe." This is an activity facility that combines both 'play' and "learning," offering enjoyment for both children and adults. Why not try an experience that can only be enjoyed here?
