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.
