About this excursion

This 7-hour shore excursion makes the most of your time in Kagoshima, combining spectacular nature, cultural experiences, and local charm. Begin your journey at Senganen, a beautiful traditional garden offering breathtaking views of Sakurajima, the city’s famous active volcano.

Next, take a ferry across Kagoshima Bay to Sakurajima Island, where you can feel the power of the volcano up close. Visit the Visitor Center to learn about its fascinating history, then join a hands-on pottery workshop using volcanic ash for a one-of-a-kind experience.

After exploring the island, return to the city for some free time in Tenmonkan, Kagoshima’s lively downtown area filled with local restaurants, shops, and street energy.

This tour is specially created for cruise passengers, starting and ending conveniently at Marine Port Kagoshima. With comfortable transportation and a professional guide, you can enjoy a full day of sightseeing, learning, and relaxation without any stress or planning.
