Exploring KAGOSHIMA: Ep. 54 Ultimate World Cruise| BZ Travel

Join BZ Travel in Episode 54 of our Ultimate World Cruise as we discover the vibrant city of Kagoshima and the awe-inspiring Sakurajima volcano in Japan. This episode captures our journey through Kagoshima, known for its scenic beauty and the imposing Sakurajima, one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

Our adventure begins with an early morning arrival in Kagoshima, where we’re greeted by the city’s lush landscapes and the distant sight of Sakurajima’s smoking peak. With the help of local trams and a ferry, we navigate our way towards the volcano, providing a seamless and insightful travel experience through Kagoshima’s efficient public transportation system.

We take a short ferry ride across Kagoshima Bay, which historically separated Sakurajima from the mainland until the 1914 eruption that connected it. Onboard, we enjoy the local commute, feeling the pulse of daily life amidst the backdrop of an active volcano. Our visit to Sakurajima includes a stop at an observation area where we’re treated to breathtaking views of the volcanic smoke and the surrounding bay.

This episode not only showcases the natural wonders of Kagoshima but also highlights how easy and enjoyable it is to explore this part of Japan using public transport. From streetcars to ferries, every mode of transport adds to our experience, making this visit uniquely memorable.

    The ferries look old school like the Star Ferry or the Sydney ferries – I like that! Kagoshima looks a nice, clean, safe city as does all of Japan tbh. Very interesting to see slices of different towns in Japan because I think we all have Tokyo as our impression and much like my national capital London isn't representative of how most people live, I guess most other capital cities aren't either. Enjoy the sail there!

    Another lovely informative video 😊
    I'd love to see a volcano- how fascinating.
    The shopping complex looks so clean.
    ❤ your favourite Aussie follower 🦘

    I wasnt able to comment for some reason on a few other videos but I wanted to say, (and now I forget where you were) in the lovely village/city where you both dressed up and married each other, was just so heartwarming and joyful.
    What a delight you two are

    I live in Kagoshima. It's interesting to see a tourist point of view.

    A few things:
    – you pay for the ferry on the Sakurajima side no matter which way you travel. I'm sure that you figured that out
    – Sakurajima doesn't really have hiking trails. It has walking paths that are near the water. There is a "no entry" zone around the volcano.
    – people use umbrellas for rain… and sun because it gets very hot and humid in summer. If it ashes then they might use them for that. Winds bring ash into the city in summer.
    – Tenmonkan is a nice area to walk around. It's just a shopping area but it's compact and easy to walk around.
    – the "cakes" had bean paste in them
    – you are right. Kagoshima isnt a huge tourist city. There are things to do but it's no Kyoto or Tokyo where there care dozens of cool things to do

    It looks like you had OK weather. We had some terrible weather in May.
