💞Reasons why we recommend it: You can enjoy the rich nature of Kagoshima, from Kinko Bay surrounding Sakurajima to Kaimon-dake in Ibusuki. You can also take your time to look around the traditional Japanese garden, which still retains the atmosphere of the Edo period. You can see Sakurajima from the garden, which is both soothing and overwhelming.

The recommended course is a stroll through the gardens where you can enjoy flowers of every season, and a tour of the observation spots where you can get a panoramic view of Sakurajima and Kinko Bay.
The recommended course is the 60-minute walking course. If you want to take your time to explore Sengan-en, there is also a 120-minute walking course, so you can fit it into your itinerary.
