Kagoshima Holiday Packages

Holidays To Kagoshima

Considered the friendliest city in Japan, Kagoshima sits on a pretty little bay in the shadow of the mighty Sakurajima volcano.

One of the southernmost cities in the country, Kagoshima holidays are also known for sunny weather, so it's a great place to enjoy the outdoors and get on the water. This pretty little city of just over half a million inhabitants offers up a dynamic mix of cultural and natural attractions that draws travellers from all over Asia and the world.

Things to Do in Kagoshima

Kagoshima holiday packages can be your very own time machine. Take a trip back to the days of the samurai warrior at the Museum of the Meiji Restoration, where English language audio and visual displays walk you through the history of these knights of the Far East. Then visit the Kagoshima City Aquarium, which hosts huge whale shark tanks and live dolphin performances. To fully explore all the city has to offer, book one of Wotif’s Kagoshima car hire options and make your way up to the Karasujima observation point, a small mountain that used to be an island but was surrounded by lava flows and now offers stupendous views of the city.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

Kagoshima hosts a huge and bustling morning market every day at Asa-ichi, where you can pick up everything from fresh produce to new shoes. Try the Daiei Department store, located near the Ikeda hospital on the south side of town. Those that are not afraid to get their hands dirty should wander over to the central fish market, where sushi chefs pick out the cream of the crop for that day's special menu items. You’ll be glad you saved tons of cash with our Kagoshima deals—spend it on fresh unagi (eel) instead!

You’re sure to stay busy when you book Kagoshima packages, but you’ve got to eat dinner eventually, right? Make a trip to the Yatai-mura food stall village, which is located near the train station and offers a wide selection of traditional eats at bargain prices. Even the non-adventurous have to try the black satsuma chicken, a Kagoshima speciality, as it is grilled to a tender crisp over charcoal coals, leaving it black on the outside but juicy on the inside.

While it doesn’t have the nightlife of a Tokyo holiday, Kagoshima is the nightlife capital of the southern state of Kyushu. Get your groove on at the tight cluster of bars and clubs in the Tenmonkan district, which is easy to get to by train. Kagoshima is also home to a handful of expat-friendly sports bars and British pubs, which tend to be found near the city centre.
