Truly, green, magical place, where I was able to see small macaques and native yakushika deer in a verdant green moss forest.

My sons and I went to Japan to visit my home country and home town Kagoshima. While there we decided to take a trip to Chiran to visit the Samurai town and the Peace museum at the same time. I was especially interested in visiting the Peace museum since my uncle told me of my Grandmother’s picture was among the phots displayed. This place had certain aura about it since so many young men were sent from there to their certain death. One item that reminded me how terrible war is was the reconstructed Zero place that crashed into sea while attacking one of the US ships. How it was covered in hundreds of holes which surely came from anti aircraft guns on US ships. I was looking for the photos of my grandmother in hundreds of photos that were there. Lo and behold, I found few with her in the background and she looked to be in her 40s. I just remember her in her 70s bedridden and in poor health. It was quite a moving experience. Needless to say, the museum is quite a special place to visit and it was wonderful.

Tanaka Isson only posthumously became famous and acknowledged unfortunately. He is sometimes compared to Paul Gauguin in that he was attracted in a Southern Island and stayed there in the last time of his life. He is in other times compared to Henri Rousseau in that his brush strokes resemble those of Rousseau’s especially in one of his greatest works, “Kuwazuimo to Sotetsu.” I highly recommend you visit this museum.

A fascinating array of fish, crabs, squid, octopi and other creatures from Japanese waters, including the world’s largest eel, is viewable at this impressive aquarium.

An exceptional aquarium experience with very well-designed exhibits. A great variety of aquatic life, with an especially big tank full of many fish upon entry (and a ride up an escalator). Dolphin shows for kids and adults alike, and many education displays as well. Part of the museum has seawater intake from the bay - fascinating!
9. Museum of the Meiji Restoration

This is a very interesting museum showing the importance of the people from Kagoshima at the end of the Shogunate era. The Restoration Experience Hall has two performances throughout the day with robots explaining the Satsuma history from the end of the Shogunate era to the Meiji Restoration and of the Satsuma students going abroad to study in the UK. You can request headsets to follow the dialogue in English (and probably other languages). You can follow many displays throughout the museum using an app that provides an explanation in English. The entrance fee is reasonable- 300 Yen for adults, 150 yen for children. It is about a 650 meter walk from the Kagoshima Chuo Station.

We had a wonderful time exploring the stores and people watching one afternoon. You can find everything from kitchen items to everything Pickachu and a range of styles and prices if you are looking for clothing. Save time to wander in the basement through the grocery store and many food outlets. I wish that we had planned for a picnic dinner as there were so many delicious items to choose from.
