    Kagoshima Kagoshima-shi Hanaomachi 4193

    源頼朝の側室である丹後局のお墓があり、両者が祀られた神社です。 丹後局は島津家初代当主の母とされ、安産にご利益があると言われています。 さつま日光とも言われ、元日の初詣には地元の方をはじめとして大行列ができますので、早めの時間帯に行くことをお勧めします。 (元日は八重山公園で初日の出を見た後、その足で花尾神社に初詣すると丁度良かったです)

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.
