It is the southernmost prefecture of the Kyushu Island of Japan. It comprises many islands, like Yakushima, Amami-Oshima etc... With a dominant place in the history of Japan, Kagoshima is surrounded by nature and offers a unique dining culture which is defined by some of the best ingredients - grown and bred locally.

From Tokyo, you can take a flight, which takes around 2hours. If you are in Osaka and have a JR pass, take the Shinkansen. Although it takes around 4hours it is a convenient trip. It is also 90mins from Fukuoka by Shinkansen. To go to the islands in Kagoshima, i.e. Yakushima, Amami-Oshima, there are ferries departing from Kagoshima apart from direct flights from Tokyo to some of them.

Kagoshima is bursting with nature. It is a paradise for lovers of outdoor activity - Kayaking along an active volcano Sakurajima, Hiking inside a national park, Biking along a coast etc.

It also happens to be a food capital - with some of the best ingredients being farmed and produced here - for e.g. it is the largest producer of Japanese Tea within Japan. Fermentation is at the front and centre - with Kagoshima being the heartland of Japanese Shochu, the hidden gem of Japan. In addition, some famous Whisky producers such as Mars Tsunuki and Kanosuke craft their spirits here!

Or in case you fancy stayng at a modern styled, newly built Japanese house, complete with a rotenburo - based on a Japanese Samurai residence - we have you covered!
