All Reviews of Li-Ka1920

On this trip to Kagoshima, I discovered a new mixed-use shopping complex in front of the station called Li-Ka1920. Not only is it conveniently located, but it also has quite a few unique stores worth exploring. The mall is next to Kagoshima-Chuo Station, with retail floors spanning the 1st through 7th floors, so you'll need to set aside a little extra time if you want to browse the whole place. I recommend checking out the food area on the 1st floor, which has restaurants such as Kushikatsu Tanaka and sushi places, as well as plenty of options for trying local food. On the 2nd floor, there's the bakery café Idainaru Hatsumei, a good place to buy some bread and take a break with a cup of coffee. If you like household and lifestyle goods, you can also browse the 3rd floor for practical and cute items. It has dining, shopping, and places to rest all in one, and you can shop comfortably even on a rainy day.

If I had to recommend a convenient place to stay and shop, I would suggest considering the area around JR Kagoshima-Chuo Station. It has excellent amenities and is an ideal base for shopping and accommodations. The station is directly connected to AMU PLAZA Kagoshima, so if you want to buy Japanese appliances or electronics, just head to the connected Bic Camera. It has everything from beauty appliances and hair dryers to insulated bottles. You can get there as soon as you leave the station and easily shop tax-free, without worrying about carrying your purchases around.

I also highly recommend staying at JR Kyushu Hotel Kagoshima. The hotel is directly connected to the station, with a bustling shopping mall and food court downstairs. After buying electronics, you can take the elevator straight up and leave them in your room. Taking the Shinkansen or airport bus on the way home is also seamless. This trip really showed me how convenient a hotel connected to the station complex can be.

I recommend the restaurant upstairs—the city view while you eat is really relaxing.
