Kagoshima, Japan

Kagoshima City is located on Kyushu Island along the southern tip of Japan. The greatest legacy of Kagoshima-shi is collapsing the Tokugawa shogunate who ruled from 1603 until 1868 while restoring imperial rule and spearheading Japan’s modernization. Along with its historic landmarks are a bustling shopping district, several museums, a serene and scenic waterfront and Japan’s warmest climate.
