Ichiran Ramen is a classic meal to have when visiting Japan. Its most distinctive feature is the individual booth-style seating, where you can quietly finish a bowl of ramen and really focus on enjoying the food! The ramen broth is rich, and you can also customize the noodles to your liking. Although quite a few people were waiting in line, the meal was very satisfying~

Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park
One of Japan’s first national parks, established in 1934. Stretching across Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, this vast park is made up of a chain of huge caldera volcanoes and is divided into two areas: the northern Kirishima area and the southern Kinkowan (Kagoshima Bay) area. In the northern Kirishima area, where more than 20 large and small volcanoes line up, highlights include landscapes that showcase nature’s grandeur, such as crater lakes and summit marshlands formed by volcanic activity.
Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park offers a rich variety of natural scenery. Along the way, you can enjoy spectacular volcanic terrain, lush green forests, and expansive lakes. The volcanoes and surrounding mountains create unique scenery full of natural beauty, and the magnificent landscape can be appreciated from every angle. This is a great place to visit for those who enjoy mountain climbing, hiking, and viewing lava formations!

Kagoshima City Aquarium (Io World)
Located at Kagoshima Port, this aquarium offers magnificent views of Sakurajima, the symbol of Kagoshima, across Kinko Bay. Its exhibits include the Kurosio Great Water Tank, featuring Kyushu's only whale shark exhibit as well as tuna, bonito, and other fish that migrate with the Kuroshio Current. The aquarium displays approximately 10,000 marine animals from about 800 species, primarily from the waters around Kagoshima, including Kinko Bay and the Nansei Islands.
The Kagoshima City Aquarium is located right next to the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal. The building’s exterior was inspired by a stingray, making it quite distinctive. Inside, there are extensive marine life exhibits, and visitors can also learn about Kagoshima’s unique Kuroshio waters and volcanic marine ecosystem.
The most impressive feature is the spectacular Kuroshio Great Water Tank, where you can get an up-close look at large marine animals such as whale sharks, tuna, bonito, and manta rays swimming through the water. It’s an incredible sight that makes you feel as if you’re in an underwater world! -

Takachiho Gorge
Takachiho Gorge is a narrow v-shaped chasm made over thousands of years by the Gokase River’s erosion of Mt. Aso’s volcanic rock. This spectacular place is surrounded by cliffs that average 80 meters in height (reaching up to 100 meters) and extend along for 7 kilometers. Takachiho Gorge has been designated as a National Place of Scenic Beauty.
The scenery at Takachiho Gorge is very beautiful, with towering rock walls on both sides, emerald-green water flowing through the gorge, and lush greenery dotting the landscape. The entire area is filled with a sense of nature. You can also see people rowing small boats through the gorge, creating an extremely poetic scene~ It feels like stepping into a landscape painting!
