Kagoshima Hidden Gems

L'extrême sud de Kyushu : le volcan Sakurajima fume sans cesse face à la ville, l'île de Yakushima et ses cèdres millénaires ont inspiré Princesse Mononoké, et les bains de sable chaud d'Ibusuki sont uniques au Japon. Porc noir kurobuta et esprit samouraï satsuma.

8 spots

Le sud volcanique : un cône actif qui fume face au centre-ville, des bains de sable sur la côte et une forêt de cèdres millénaires sur une île voisine.

Climat et meilleure saison

Subtropical, chaud et très pluvieux, avec des typhons en fin d'été et des retombées de cendres du Sakurajima. Hivers doux ; le printemps et l'automne sont les plus supportables.
