Kagoshima Senganen and Sakurajima Tour by private car

Sengan-en Garden was built in 1658 by Mitsuhisa, the 19th generation of the Shimazu family. The garden overlooking Sakurajima is one of the most beautiful views in Kagoshima Prefecture. The garden, which overlooks Sakurajima, is one of Kagoshima Prefecture's most representative landscapes. The 15,000-tsubo (9,000-square-meter) site, with its flowers in bloom in each of the four seasons, includes the Shoko Shuseikan, where materials and cultural assets related to the Satsuma clan and the Shimazu family are on display, and the palace, which was registered as a World Cultural Heritage in 2015 as a place that led the modernization of Japan.

Sakurajima was created approximately 26,000 years ago. Easily accessible from downtown Kagoshima, Sakurajima attracts many visitors as an active volcano that continues to erupt in smoke. Visitors to the Sakurajima Lava Nagisa Park will be amazed at the extraordinary view of the lava field and observation spots.

The Sakurajima Lava Nagisa Park is also a 100-meter-long footbath, the source of which is a natural hot spring that gushes out from 1,000 meters below the surface of Sakurajima. The reddish-brown water flows slowly, and the view of Sakurajima is magnificent as you soak your feet in the hot water.

It is the highest of all the observation points on Sakurajima and the highest point to which the public is allowed. The view of the rugged mountain surface and the smoke rising from the volcano is breathtaking!
