Kagoshima, Japan • Todays Featured Images

Home of the Samurai


The city of Kagoshima, Japan sits in the shadow of the dramatic Mount Sakurajima, an active volcano constantly bellowing clouds of smoke as a constant reminder of natures influence in the region. The city is rich in cultural heritage, particularly the legacy of the Shimazu family, which can be explored at the historic Sengan-en Gardens. For local history visit the Reimeikan Museum to learn about regional folklore. Kagoshima is also deeply tied to Japan’s samurai heritage as the historic home of the powerful Shimazu Clan and the birthplace of Saigo Takamori, known as the last true samurai.
