Return by ferry to Kagoshima and visit Sengan-en, a historic Japanese garden overlooking Sakurajima and Kinko Bay. The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations.

About Kagoshima
Kagoshima, in southern Kyushu, faces the smoking volcano of Sakurajima across a bay, with a samurai past, hot springs and sweet-potato spirits.
Kagoshima stands on a bay in southern Kyushu, with the active volcano Sakurajima rising from the water just across from the city. A short ferry ride crosses the bay, and a lava flow in the 1914 eruption joined the former island to the mainland. Ash sometimes drifts over the city, which has long been used to it.
Top-ranked sights in Kagoshima: Sengan-en Garden, Shoko Shuseikan Museum.
