People of Kagoshima was started as a project to shine a light on the real lives and stories of local everyday people here in Kagoshima, Japan.
The idea for the project was born out of our own early experiences in Kagoshima – sitting in small local restaurants and bars, enjoying delicious food, drink, and the ambience of Kagoshima. We were surrounded by the kind faces of strangers, but we were unable to communicate with them, to hear who they were, that kind of lives they led…
All because of barrier of language.
Now after many years of living in Kagoshima, we, too, can share true interactions with locals to paint a better picture of this wonderful land should you ever find yourself visiting.
We have spent over a decade getting to know the local people of Kagoshima – our family, friends, neighbours, and acquaintances – and we want to share their stories and achievements with you.
Join us on a journey across Kagoshima to meet craftspeople, artisans, artists, chefs, businesspeople, and a whole host of other characters along the way.
Hear their stories, see their lives, and get a glimpse of real life in rural Japan.
Come and meet the people.
