    Kagoshima Izumi-shi Bunkacho 1000
    This is only crane museum in Japan, built in the image of a parent crane nesting with an egg and a fledgling crane snuggling close. In the museum, visitors can learn about the ecology and history of cranes, and also enjoy videos and embalmed crane, as well as crane designed crafts. Additionally, there are museum lectures that are regularly held, which feature events for nature observation groups and other organizations.

    ほぼ鶴だけに限定した施設としては、立派な建物に広い敷地です。こういった資料館・博物館の類いも、動物園なども好きな方ですが、鶴の仲間だけに限定した内容だとさすがに冗長感を感じました。鶴の飛来地や観察センターとも少し離れているのも難点。隣接した施設なら相乗効果もあるんですが。

    "Akune Oshima is an uninhabited island about 10 minutes by boat from the Akune Shin-ko port ferry terminal. The island, with a circumference of approximately four km, is home to a pine forest selected as one of the 100 best pine trees in Japan, as well as a forest of white oaks and other giant trees. With a campground and swimming beach, it is a mecca for marine sports and outdoor activities that attracts many tourists throughout the year. The beach with calm waves is a scenic beach recognized as one of the ""100 best 'comfortable' bathing beaches in Japan"". Wild deer sometimes come to the beach where green pines grow wild, which makes the beach a popular place to enjoy swimming surrounded by nature."

    This tourist farm offering strawberry picking is located about a 30-minute drive from Sendai Station.

The others are Oi C Berry, which is noted for the richness of its flavor, and Beni Hoppe, which is known for its juiciness.

  • Izumi City Ocean Park Pool

    Kagoshima Izumi-shi Sakaicho 912
    This pool complex inside Izumi City Kaiyo Park is located north from urban Komenotsu-machi, Izumi City along National Route 3. Open only for the summer, one of the facility's biggest appeals is the liberating atmosphere created by its location adjacent to the vast Yatsushiro Sea. It is comprised of a large adult pool and a small children's pool filled with refreshingly chilly underground water. Visitors can enjoy a meal at the park's beach house and the price of admission is also reasonable, making it a popular destination for fun with the whole family.

    こじんまりとした展示会場である。ガイドを兼ねた係の方が男女一人づついた。案内や説明をしてほしいといえば、当然応じてくれるが、時間が掛かるのも嫌だし、かと言って途中で”もう結構”とも言いにくいもの。しかし、適度な距離と頃合いで、ワンポイントでそれとなく話してくれるのには大変関心しまた感激した。押しつけがましくないガイドぶりに、この施設の余裕と自信を感じた。

    肥薩おれんじ鉄道の阿久根駅構内にある食堂兼カフェ兼売店です。レジにあるショーケース内に美味しそうなプリンがあったのでテイクアウトして列車内で海を見ながらいいただきました。味は至って普通でしたが大量生産品とは違うキメの細かさと優しい甘みが美味しかったです。

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.
