What to do and see in Kagoshima, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best Specialty Museums
Take a quick ferry ride to Mount Sakurajima, a smoldering volcano, Or, if you prefer to view active volcanoes from a more comfortable distance, stop at one of the many lookout points around the city. (Siroyama Observatory is a good choice.) Finally, if there’s anything better than a foot bath after a long day of sightseeing, it’s a free foot bath after a long day of sightseeing… and you can enjoy one at Sakurajima Nagisa Foot Bath Park.

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.
