The lake is really huge! There's a dedicated cycling path around it, so you can bike all the way around.

Sengan-en, a Nationally Designated Place of Scenic Beauty
Sengan-en is a Japanese garden built in 1658 by Shimadzu Mitsuhisa as a villa for the Shimadzu family. It covers 50,000 square meters. This borrowed-scenery garden incorporates Kagoshima’s magnificent landscape, with Sakurajima as its artificial hill and Kinko Bay as its pond.
This is the southernmost part of Kyushu, and you can see Sakurajima volcano from here.

Wine Bar Hachijuro PARCO_ya Ueno
Wine Bar Hachijuro offers a carefully selected range of more than 60 wines imported directly from countries around the world, with a focus on Spain. The selection includes rare wines not generally available on the market. The restaurant is equally particular about its food, taking the time to marinate ingredients in wine overnight or simmer them with vegetables for several hours.
The lunch steak set is reasonably priced, and the wine by the glass is a great deal.

Oshino Hakkai – The 8 Springs of Oshino
Oshino Hakkai is the collective name for Mt. Fuji’s 8 natural ponds, Deguchi-ike, Okama-ike, Sokonashi-ike, Choshi-ike, Waku-ike, Nigori-ike, Kagami-ike and Shobu-ike. Once a former lake, the area has dried up and formed the 8 spring-sourced ponds that remain today.
The peaceful countryside vibe and the locals' simplicity really stand out. The pickled veggies are delicious, and the tofu made with pure, clean water is a must-try. Plus, the view of Mt. Fuji in the distance makes this place fantastic.
