Don't just watch sport on the big screen, feel it, experience it and live it at Kagoshima Arena! Located 13 kilometres away in Kagoshima, it's a superb place to get your fix whether you choose to cheer for the home or away team.
There's even more just down the road. Hioki, 3 kilometres to the southwest, is known for Eguchi Horai Hall and the Shinya Nakamura Museum. Alternatively, if the Kagoshima Botanical Garden and Kagoshima City Aquarium sound better to you, go 16 kilometres southeast from Ijuin to Kagoshima.
