Destinations » Asia » China - Japan - Korea » Kagoshima


Tucked into the protrctive arms of a large sea inlet, Kagoshima is on the southern flak of Kyushu Island. The city has long enjoyed a pleasant climate and productive crops due to a warm marine influence. And her towering Sakurajima volcano causes to compare Kagoshima geographically to the Italian city of Naples.
