Kagoshima City

Kagoshima City is located at the southernmost tip of the Kyushu mainland. The natural blessings from volcanic activity of Sakurajima, an active volcano that can be said to be the symbol of the city, have made the surrounding land fertile, helping the residents cultivate a wide variety of agricultural products. The city's entertainment district, Tenmonkan, is popular among tourists for its many souvenir shops and restaurants serving local delicacies such as Kurobuta (black pork), Kuroushi (black beef), and Kagoshima ramen.
