Adjacent to the north side of Kagoshima City and facing the calm Kinko Bay, "Aira City" is a highly convenient coastal city where rich great nature energy and old historical romance are comfortably fused. The biggest highlight is the "Gamo's Great Camphor Tree," which is designated as a national special natural monument and is said to be the largest giant tree in Japan with an age of about 1,500 years; the moment you stand in front of it, you are wrapped in overwhelming sacred spiritual energy and silence. Also, it is full of photogenic famous places such as the "Ryumonji-zaka," a historical stone-paved ancient road that samurai in the Edo period walked on, and "Ryumon Falls," which flows down dynamically. It is a wonderful city where you can luxuriously experience the deep traditional aesthetic sense of Satsuma and the vitality of nature with your five senses while keeping the comfort of the city.
