From there, you will embark on a comfortable bus journey to the majestic Sengan-en, a traditional Japanese garden renowned for its breathtaking use of "borrowed scenery." Here, you will stroll through meticulously manicured landscapes that seamlessly blend the natural beauty of Kinko Bay and the towering silhouette of Sakurajima into the garden's own design. As midday approaches, you will be escorted to Ohkatei, an elegant restaurant situated within the Sengan-en grounds. Enjoy a relaxing lunch featuring refined local cuisine, all while taking in sweeping, uninterrupted views of the garden and the bay just beyond the windows. Following lunch, the rhythm of the day shifts toward adventure. You will board a bus to the ferry terminal and set sail across the sparkling waters of Kinko Bay. This short, scenic ferry ride delivers you directly to the shores of Sakurajima. Your first stop on the volcano is the Sakurajima Visitor Center, where you will uncover the fascinating geological history of this active giant. Afterward, take a moment to unwind by dipping your feet into the soothing, naturally heated thermal foot-baths nearby. The journey then takes you higher up the mountain to the Yunohira Observatory.
