I was born and raised in Kagoshima. Thank you for the wonderful video of my city. Kagoshima is the birthplace of Saigo and Okubo, who built the foundation of Japan. Next time you come to Kagoshima, please try the Kake Udon on the Sakurajima Ferry😋 And the shaved ice recommended by locals is Yanagikori near Tenmonkan! It's fluffy and delicious😋

Oooh I love kakigori!! And all types of udon. I'll have to try both! Thank you for the recommendations :)

Hi there, I'm thinking of moving to Kagoshima. How do you think as a citizen there? Does the fact that the volcano is super active, erupting almost daily make you want to live elsewhere?
@ikuiku423122 күн бұрын
Your opinion on Sakurajima's volcano is cute 😊 For example, if you live in the downtown area of Kagoshima City... Tenmonkan area, you may encounter 2-3 ashfalls in the summer. But there is no chance of encountering ashfall in the winter. The wind direction affects it. I don't recommend moving to Kanoya City because there is a lot of ashfall, so you will be concerned. I think the security in Kagoshima City and Miyazaki City is top-level in Japan. Even if you are a woman and you walk alone late at night, you will be able to return home safely. Also, the cost of living is the cheapest in Japan. The trouble for you is that it's a rural town, so there are few people who can speak English. But there are communities from each country, so don't worry. I think there are jobs. Both Kagoshima City and Miyazaki City are tourist destinations, so there are many foreign tourists. If you have any questions about Kagoshima City, I can answer them all because it's the city I've lived in since I was born 😊

We’ve been to Japan 18 times but still haven’t made it to Kyushu lol - yeah I know it’s almost embarrassing.. but in June we’re going back and maybe maybe some Kyushu this time. So thanks for inspiration- Kagoshima is probably top of our Kyushu list.

Kyushu is so different and cool! I'm editing my Fukuoka trip video now, I'd recommend seeing that city as well

@@JessicaMiyukiArt we’re probably not gonna do Fukuoka though. It looks like a nice city but there is a certain “genericness” to these 2nd tier cities (Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe, Sapporo etc) when you’ve done most of them. I like them but looking for something slightly different for just a few days. Kagoshima seems somewhat different and yeah that volcano of course. Neither of us have a driver’s license- otherwise we would have traveled around Miyazaki. Anyways I enjoy your videos and I’ll definitely gonna be back and check the Fukuoka one.
@JessicaMiyukiArt8 ай бұрын
I know what you mean, the bigger cities start feeling familiar. But I did find Fukuoka's beaches a nice change from what I'm used to growing up in the Tokyo / Kanagawa area. Also Kagoshima has way more things to do than what I had time for, so I'm sure you'd enjoy your time there! The Welcome Cute Pass has unlimited public transit rides for a day or two (ferry, bus, trams, etc) and if I knew about it earlier I would have gotten that haha.

I live in Kagoshima. It looks like maybe you arrived at Chuo Station and not Kagoshima Station (which is close to the ferry). Dinosaur park has seen better days😅 but Sakurajima is totally recommended.

Ohhhh you're right, I took the shinkansen from Miyazaki so it did stop at Chuo station. I guess there were a few strange bugs and paint chipping at the dinosaur park but I thought it was so creative and cute! I wish I spent more time in Kagoshima, there were so many places I wanted to see!

@@JessicaMiyukiArt Oops... Shinkansen doesn't run from Miyazaki. Kagoshima Chuo Station is the big one with the Shinkansen, shopping mall and the Ferris wheel on top. APA Hotel is behind it. Kagoshima Station is quite small and at the end of the streetcar line. Near the ferries. Looks like you picked a great time to visit. Lovely clear skies. You wouldn't want to be here now.

Don’t miss the Sengan-en Garden for serene vibes 🌿, and fuel up with some local kurobuta pork 🐖. Wrap up with a sunset over Kinko Bay 🌅-pure magic! 🖤✨ Fyi.
