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 :)

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.
@JessicaMiyukiArt5 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.

Cool video. I was in Kagoshima last October and we visited where they filmed a scene from the James Bond movie, You Only Live Twice. Also visited the Chiran Peace Museum for Kamikaze Pilots, very interesting museum. I’ll be back in Kagoshima this November.

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.
@JessicaMiyukiArt3 ай бұрын
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. The highs EVERY DAY this week are 34C and 35C. Lows are 27C. And the humidity is crushing.

I have a whole Kyushu trip planned out for next year! It will be my third time to Japan. I’m starting by flying into Kagoshima and then going to Kumamoto for stopover on the way to Fukuoka, spending a bunch of time there with day trips out to places, and then onto Nagasaki and then to Hiroshima. I look forward to seeing what you do!
