I visit this site frequently just to relax and view the city and Mt. Sakurajima. Hands down, the best view of Kagoshima City and Mt. Sakurajima, Kinko Bay, and on a clear day, all the way to Mt. Kaimon. Friendly English guides are on hand to answer questions. The illumination is still up and beautiful.
