Continue to the Lava Nagisa Promenade and relax in the natural footbath by the sea. Return by ferry to Kagoshima and visit Sengan-en, a historic Japanese garden overlooking Sakurajima and Kinko Bay.

The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations. Pre-tour customer support is available in English.
