Tarumizu City, located in the northwestern part of the Osumi Peninsula, adjacent to the active volcano "Sakurajima" floating in front of Kagoshima City across the vast Kinko Bay, is a vibrant coastal resort city where magnificent marine bounty and rich volcanic energy are comfortably fused. The biggest highlight from here is the most dynamic panoramic view of Sakurajima's volcanic smoke, which you can look up at while driving along the coastline, overwhelming travelers from all over the world. Also, it is famous as a sacred place for "Yellowtail and Greater Amberjack (aquaculture)" that received the bounty of Kinko Bay, which boasts the world's greatest depth, and high-level local gourmet where you can luxuriously taste fresh marine bounty is highly acclaimed by overseas foodies. It is a town full of outdoor activities such as canyoning in "Sarugajo Gorge," where natural hot spring water gushes out.
