the great kyushu road trip of 2023, part 3: kagoshima

Welcome to the third and final part of our Kyushu road trip adventures! After a few fun days exploring scenic and spiritual places in Kumamoto and Miyazaki, we finally arrived in our final destination of Kagoshima prefecture.

We drove into Kagoshima in the evening after spending the day in Miyazaki, and we first looked for a place to have dinner. We ended up going to a very small "restaurant," which was more like a room rented out by an old woman who cooked a single set course each night. It was really cozy and felt a lot like our grandmother was cooking us a home cooked meal. I forgot all of the courses she brought, but we had red juice made from shiso leaves, rice balls, soup, and more.

After this comforting meal, we drove for a bit longer on the country roads until we arrived in Kagoshima city, where we checked into our hostel and called it a night.

The next morning, we took my car onto a nearby ferry which crossed a small stretch of water between Kagoshima city and Sakurajima, Japan's most active volcano and an iconic symbol of Kagoshima prefecture.

The entirety of the volcanic island can be traversed by car in just about an hour, so we spent some time exploring various sights of the island before returning on the ferry to Kagoshima city.

It's not possible to go to the top of the volcano because, well, it's an active volcano, so to get a good view of it, we visited one of the many observation decks. We were able to enjoy not only the view of the volcano from below, but the view of Kagoshima city and the waterway between it and the island, which was very beautiful.

Next we headed to a famous monument called Portrait of a Shout. The statue is made of volcanic rock and depicts the rockstar Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, a Sakurajima native who held an all-night rock concert on Sakurajima in 2004. Although the population of Sakurajima is only 6,000 people, the rock concert attracted a staggering 75,000 people to Sakurajima from all over Japan. The statue was sculpted by artist Hiroshi Onari less than a year later to commemorate the event. (source)

Since Sakurajima is an active volcano and has been for a long time, you can find formations of volcanic rock all over the island, and you can buy volcanic rock souvenirs and even pottery made from volcanic ash. As we drove around the island, we also noticed many shelters along the roadside for people to take cover in were there to be a sudden eruption. It's been forecasted that there will be at least one major eruption in the next thirty years, so island residents must be ready at all times should they need to seek shelter.

I've been referring to Sakurajima as an island, but it's actually not technically an island anymore. In 1914, a huge eruption caused a large flow of lava to actually form a land bridge on the east side of the island, connecting it to the Osumi peninsula, so you can now drive onto it from the east side of the volcano. On the day this eruption happened, it buried the village below it in two meters of lava. The three-meter-tall shrine gate of Haragosha Shrine was also almost completely buried. The residents of Sakurajima decided to leave it buried there as a warning and sign of rememberance of the village, and it can now be visited as a tourist spot. Seeing the once tall shrine gate buried to the top in what was once hot volcanic rock really gives you a feel of just how massive the eruption really was.

On our next stop on the island, we visited a small shrine called Tsukiyomi Shrine, which was nestled under the volcano overlooking the sea.

After taking in the beautiful view, we next headed to some tourist shops where we came across a giant daikon statue. Since Sakurajima has quite fertile volcanic soil, they are famous for their daikon and komikan oranges. The record for largest daikon ever grown was actually from Sakurajima, which weighed 31.1 kg (about 68 lbs) and had a circumference of 119 cm (so I was disappointed to find out that the huge daikon statue was not actually true to size, haha.) According to this article, Sakurajima daikon even grow and can be harvested twice as fast as normal daikon, in just six months!

After enjoying our souvenir shopping and admiring the giant daikon statue, we returned to the ferry and made our way back to Kagoshima city for lunch, where we enjoyed a famous food of Kagoshima, kurobuta tonkatsu, a pork cutlet made from Kagoshima's special black pigs. Apparently the black pigs were first brought from the Ryukyu kingdom of Okinawa 400 years ago and became a staple of the area. The pigs are free range for almost their whole lives, and can scavenge in the forest in a stress free environment with a balanced diet. The amount of amino acids in the pork has been studied, giving a scientific seal of approval to its deliciousness. (source) But because of the care with which the pigs are raised, the pork can be a bit expensive. I think I paid about $20 for my meal, which wasn't too steep, but was about double the price of a normal tonkatsu meal.

The next stop on our gourmet adventure was a famous spot in Kagoshima city known for their shaved ice. This place is so popular that many people were lined up down the street to get a seat inside. We didn't want to wait, so we joined the slightly shorter line at the outside of the store to get some shaved ice to go. This shaved ice is called shirokuma, meaning polar bear, characterized by its topping of condensed milk and fruit. I just ordered the classic version which was admittedly delicious, but the fruit obviously was not fresh and came from a can, so that was a bit disappointing.

We decided to finish out the day by going to the beach. We went to Iso Beach, located directly across the water from Sakurajima which had a stunning view of the volcano across the water. We enjoyed swimming in the remaining day's heat and sitting on the sand relaxing and enjoying the sights and sounds of the sea. After enjoying the beach for a while, we packed up and headed to our hostel to close out the final night of the trip.

The next morning we had a bit of a drive ahead of us, so we kept our morning adventures short. We heard about a Studio Ghibli exhibit happening at the Kagoshima prefectural center from a friend and decided to take a look. We found that it was actually the same exhibit we visited in Fukuoka the previous year, which I wrote about in this blog post. Although it was pretty much the same exhibit, it was still nice to see the work behind certain animation, and we also got to pose inside this giant Catbus! There was also a very pretty lotus pond outside the building, though the lotuses weren't in bloom.

From there we hopped back in my car and started the long drive back up the coast to the Kumamoto ferry, which we took back over to Shimabara before driving back up north to our home in Omura (aka HOMEura, haha get it?...get it?)

Kumamon even kept us company on the ferry on our way back. Once you get past the terrifying thousand-yard stare, he really can be kind of cute.

We've finally reached the end of the Great Kyushu Road Trip of 2023! It really was a ton of fun and I got to see and experience so many cool things. I really enjoyed doing research on all of the things I saw too, because I basically got to experience it all over again! I hope you enjoyed it too, and stay tuned to hear more about my other adventures! <3
