    2月12日、奄美大島観光ツアーの夕食で行きました。貸し切り状態でした。 ツアーに含まれた食事でしたが、地元料理のコースで天ぷら、煮物など味付けはどれも甘くできてます。刺身醤油も甘醤油です。 飲み物は奄美の黒糖焼酎他色々ありました。 オーナーから食材の説明や沖縄と奄美の民謡の違いなどローカルな話も結構あり知識ももらえました。後半は地元民謡のベテランおかみと息子さんの歌と三線演奏が披露されました。最後...

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.
