Japan Travel: Shiroyama Park fine view Kagoshima city, Sakurashima Historic sites 【013】Kagoshima Shiroyama Park Subscribe link :
Shiroyama Park (Shiroyama Kōen) is a park in downtown Kagoshima that stretches over Mount Shiroyama. With an elevation of 107 meters, the mountain used to the site of a castle fortification, which led to its name. Shiroyama literally means castle mountain in Japanese. The castle's former grounds at the base of the mountain now are the site of the Reimeikan Museum nowadays.
The park is most famous for its Shiroyama Observatory with magnificent views over downtown Kagoshima, Kagoshima Bay and Sakurajima. The night view is also great, especially if a fair sky and bright moon allow Sakurajima. Beautiful views can also be enjoyed from the Satsuma no Yu outdoor hot spring bath in hotel Shiroyama ,which is also open to non-staying guests.
Moreover, the park will hold the interest of travelers interested in Japanese history since it was the site of the final battle of the Satsuma Rebellion in 1877. The local hero Saigo Takamori is said to have made his last stand at Saigo Cave, situated within the park.

Introduction of Kagoshima Jinja Shrine ご紹介、鹿児島神社！（鹿児島市）
Visit to Kagoshima Shrine Kagoshima Shrine is only a stone drop from Gokoku Shrine in Kagoshima City, Japan. I decided to visit the shrine because my wife says the shrine is her favorite. The shrine is located at the west of Shiroyama.
