Living in Kagoshima

Kagoshima is nicknamed "the Naples of the Eastern World" because of its beautiful bay location as well as its warm and humid climate and the Sakurajima stratovolcano, which forms one of the major parts of the city's landscape. Kagoshima is the capital of the Kagoshima Prefecture and is one of the largest cities on the Japanese island of Kyushu. It is a wonderful city which has seen its population grow in recent years, and expats living in Kagoshima will be able to take advantage of its large shopping area, traditional regional cuisine, cultural activities as well as being able to take in the city views from the Amuran Ferris Wheel. Popular tourist destinations in the city include the Ishibashi Park, built across the Kōtsuki River and the Kagoshima Botanical Garden, situated just outside of the city, which is famous for housing tropical plants and flowers from all over the world. The climate in Kagoshima tends to be dry but cool in the winter, but summers are hotter, with wetter weather in the spring and autumn.
