Kagoshima Ko
Kagoshima Ko, a bustling
port city on Kyushu Island, offers a vibrant welcome after long sea journeys. Take a break
from salty breezes and witness the majestic Sakurajima volcano looming on the
horizon. Explore Shiroyama Park, offering stunning views of the city and a chance to stretch
your sea legs. While shopping options near the port might cater to industrial
supplies, venture into downtown Kagoshima for a delightful surprise. Seek out the covered shopping arcade,
"Tenmonkan," for local crafts, souvenirs, and anything you might need.
Craving a taste of land? Indulge in fresh seafood at harborside restaurants
like "Kagoshima
Marujyu" or "Shirokawa Yoshichiro," or savor the
local specialty - Kurobuta black pork at restaurants like "Kurobuta Tonkatsu
Ippoukan." Nightlife in Kagoshima is lively, with bars and restaurants lining the waterfront
district, "Donki Donki." If you prefer a calmer
scene, head to a cozy bar like "Ishibashi Izakaya" for a relaxing drink with
fellow sailors or friendly locals.
