Kagoshima Oshima-gun Oshima-gun Setouchicho Koniya Matsue 9-1

夜あいているのは居酒屋がほとんどで、お酒を飲まない自分たちには入りにくい店が多かった。ここは椅子席、座敷席とも区分けされており、定食の種類は多くないが食事メインの和食レストラン。エビフライ定食のエビ５匹は本当です。滞在中花火大会が催されたが、当日飲食店はこちらも含めて臨時休業、予約で満員の店が多く、コロナで島民のみの店もあって食事難民になりかけた。要注意。

Kagoshima Amami-shi Naze Nagahamacho 27-1

ホテル併設のレストランで朝昼晩と同じようなビュッフェが基本です。料理は正直なところあまり美味しくなく、わざわざ奄美大島まで来て朝晩の2食を無駄にした気分です。とにかく何でも良いので腹一杯食べたい部活の合宿向きかな。

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.
