Japan Trip: Shiroyama Park nice view plants grow wildly Kagoshima, Japan

Shiroyama Park (Shiroyama Kōen) is a park in downtown Kagoshima that stretches over Mount Shiroyama. With an elevation of 107 meters, the mountain used to the site of a castle fortification, which led to its name. Shiroyama literally means “”castle mountain”” in Japanese. The castle’s former grounds at the base of the mountain now are the site of the Reimeikan Museum nowadays.

The park is most famous for its Shiroyama Observatory with magnificent views over downtown Kagoshima, Kagoshima Bay and Sakurajima. The night view is also great, especially if a fair sky and bright moon allow Sakurajima. Beautiful views can also be enjoyed from the Satsuma no Yu outdoor hot spring bath in hotel Shiroyama ,which is also open to non-staying guests.

Moreover, the park will hold the interest of travelers interested in Japanese history since it was the site of the final battle of the Satsuma Rebellion in 1877. The local hero Saigo Takamori is said to have made his last stand at Saigo Cave, situated within the park.
