Izumi City, located in the northwestern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, is a wild nature city globally known as the "world's No. 1 crane migration site," where over 10,000 cranes fly from Siberia for wintering every year. The sight of large flocks of cranes dancing beautifully on the vast Izumi reclaimed land is simply breathtaking. It also boasts the "Izumi-Fumoto Samurai District," one of the largest in scale in the Satsuma Domain and a designated National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, conveying the breath of historic, realistic samurai culture to the present day. With plenty of local specialties such as fresh citrus fruits and chicken gourmet, it is a wonderful city that charms world travelers with curious minds, where untouched rich nature and the high-class aesthetic sense of the samurai are comfortably fused.
