Kagoshima City is located in the first row of landscapes facing the active Sakurajima volcano. You can see unique landscapes that are still erupting from time to time everywhere in the city. Accommodation options are concentrated in the two areas of Kagoshima Chuo and Kagoshima Planetarium. Kojima Chuo is convenient for transportation by taking the Shinkansen, and Kagoshima Tenmonkan is convenient for sightseeing because it is close to attractions and lively districts. Both can be reached by the 1st and 2nd system streetcars.
