We woke up in Kumamoto in surprisingly good condition after the nomihoudai. It looked like the ukon had worked again 🙂
We paid the price of rushing to catch the tram, and jumped on the wrong one which took us to a different location, not the train station.
This lost us about 45 mins, precious time which would cut into our day in Kagoshima.
Fortunately which managed to make it up and lose only a few minutes by catching the next Shinkansen from Kumamoto to Kagoshima.
We must have still been 1/2 asleep because we forgot to put our suitcases in the train station luggage, after back tracking to the station and putting our 100 Yen coins in the locker the machine got jammed and would not accept any more coins. June went to the station office and waited in line in a huge queue. Luckily enough one of the station guards spotted Nige looking suspicious and fixed the locker.
We caught the tram to make our way to Sakura-jima volcano island. There’s a great view when you watch it from the ferry. Luckily it was very nice weather. It is only a short journey to Sakura-jima and the ferries run 24hrs a day.
Unfortunately there was not enough time so we could not go around the volcano which would have required a full day, but we walked around the port. We pencilled in to return so we would be able to give the island the time it deserved. Volcanic ashes were found on the footpath in the city to highlight how active the volcano is.
Kagoshima is famous for its black pork so we looked for a restaurant in an area famous for black pork (kurobuto). Unfortunately this area had been relocated due to the construction of the Shinkansen train line. Since we were running out of time we decided to eat at the train station.
Once at the train station the popular black pork restaurants were full with long queues, so we went on the search for one nearby.
We managed to find a black pork restaurant down one of the side streets.
Time was starting to run out before our Shinkansen left for Kumamoto and unfortunately the staff were taking an age to prepare the meal. The lunch was finally delivered 20 mins before the train departed, so the meal was devoured at a great rush.
We then started running in an attempt to catch their train. Subscribe to see if they made it in time.
桜島に行ってきました。天気が良くて眺めがとても良かったです。残念ながら時間があまりなく、港の周りを散策したのみでした。またゆっくり時間を取って戻ってきたいです。市内の歩道の上などには、黒い火山灰が積もっていました。
