Kagoshima, located at the most southern part of Kyushu, feels like a lazy city to do some good chilling and catching up with friends and family. We drove down to Kagoshima from Kumamoto for 2 hours to enjoy our new years family trip here. We had this spectacular view of Sakurajima from our hotel window! FYI, we stayed at Castle Park Hotel, which was a very very nice hotel located above the city.
One of the famous shochu (Japanese rice or potato alcohol) of Kagoshima up for free sampling! A nice sweetness to it compared to other shochus.
Mochi-making in the courtyard of our hotel.
Fresh soft mochi with kinako (soybean powder) after the guys in blue punched the crap out of it!
Cute kids running around the fountain :)
I think we got a good shot of us jumping in front of Sakurajima. (Left to right: Misa, me, Mama)
Tunnel to the hotel.
Peace.
