Flowers will begin to bloom in Kagoshima very soon🌼🗻

Long ago, Lake Ikeda, the largest caldera lake in Kyushu, was formed by volcanic activity. Known for its giant eels, this spot is also famous for having many seasonal flowers in the area.

One of the best moments to visit is in January when nanohana (rapeseed flowers) bloom. If you are into exercise, take part in the Nanohana Marathon, and if you want to enjoy the flowers in a more causal manner, you can simply follow the jogging or cycling courses. You can also enjoy the views of Mount Kaimon from there, known as Kyushu's Mount Fuji.
