Kagoshima

Ancient castles and romantic art gardens. Stone and blossoms. Water and fire. The coastal town under the volcano. What sounds like a good adventure novel is an even better holiday destination. And it’s not just the architecture and landscape that are exciting in Kagoshima, but also the people. Their hot-blooded temperament – often compared to that of the Italians – is almost to be expected in the home of the last samurai.
