Kagoshima Crash Course: Southern Island Beauty and Charm

Kagoshima Prefecture is the southernmost prefecture of the island of Kyushu, and a haven for natural beauty, deep history, and immersive culture. With a population of slightly over 1.5 million people, Kagoshima Prefecture is also the 10th biggest prefecture of Japan, and the largest in all of Kyushu. Famous for its pottery that made its way around the world, active volcano that occasionally coats the city in ash, and a revolt during the Meiji Period, Kagoshima is a must see for anyone visiting Kyushu.
