2025 Kagoshima Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#JanuaryGoodDestinations2025 📍Where to see Sakurajima Volcano: Arimura Lava Observatory 〒891-1545 952 Arimura-cho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture #日本火山 #樱島 #火山 #卡哥島 Sakurajima Volcano, located in Kagoshima City, Japan, is an active volcano and one of Japan's most representative natural landscapes. The volcano is not only famous for its spectacular volcanic activity, but also for its impact on the lives of local residents and has become a symbol of Kagoshima. When you arrive at Sakurajima, you will first be shocked by its magnificent volcanic landscape. The top of Sakurajima is often covered with smoke, and occasionally you can see the spectacular sight of a volcanic eruption. Especially on a clear day, looking out over Sakurajima, the majestic aura of the volcano makes one feel the power and magnificence of nature. The natural scenery here is full of shock and mystery. Whether you are hiking or taking a tour bus, you can always appreciate the beauty of this volcanic land. In addition to the volcano itself, there are many other attractions around Sakurajima that are worth visiting. For example, Sakurajima Onsen on the island is a popular place to relax and enjoy the natural gifts of the volcano by taking a hot spring bath. In addition, Sakurajima's black pork is also a local culinary specialty, so why not try an authentic Kagoshima cuisine. Sakurajima is also very convenient to get to, and it only takes about 10 minutes by ferry from the center of Kagoshima. During the ferry voyage, you can enjoy the magnificent sea view and the scenery of Kagoshima City. It is a beautiful journey not to be missed. 📍Address:

Sengan-en was the favorite garden of Shimazu Nariakira. Atsuhime, who married into the Tokugawa shogunate, also lived in this beautiful garden. To this day, it continues to attract numerous visitors from around the world. The garden features a stunning landscape with Sakurajima as a borrowed scenery mountain and Kinko Bay as a pond, creating a breathtaking view that leaves visitors in awe. The Iso area in Kagoshima City still retains historical traces of its modernization. The remains of the reverberatory furnace used to manufacture cannons, the modern Satsuma ware made using the same brick-making method as the reverberatory boiler, and the origin of the Satsuma Kiriko factory, which initially started with the idea of making medicine bottles, are all significant proofs of Japan's journey towards becoming a modern industrial nation. The Iso area is considered one of the most influential places in leading Japan towards modernization. These industrial heritage sites are very important for historical testimony, and thus, the Japanese government decided to list them as a World Cultural Heritage site by UNESCO in 2015. The vast garden, covering 15,000 tsubo, is filled with various flowers blooming throughout the year, offering a splendid view. 🎭 Sengan-en, a villa built by Satsuma Domain lord Shimazu Mitsuhisa in 1658, combines a Japanese garden with the magnificent scenery of Sakurajima and Kinko Bay. It was designated a World Cultural Heritage site in 2015 as part of the "Sites of Japan's Meiji Industrial Revolution." The garden features local cuisine, a Japanese-style café, shops selling traditional Kagoshima crafts, and exclusive Sengan-en souvenirs. The adjacent museum, Shoko Shuseikan, offers insights into the 800-year history of the Shimazu family and showcases Satsuma Kiriko glass craftsmanship. 🍵 Sengan-en is located in the Iso area of Kagoshima City, the Shimazu family's villa.

You can see the towering volcano right from the Sakurajima ferry terminal! The ferry ride takes about 20 minutes. This time, the travel route is Yunohira Observatory - Karasujima Observatory - Lava Coast Walking Trail - Lava Park Foot Bath - Tsukiyomi Shrine. The view from Yunohira Observatory is excellent, allowing you to quietly enjoy the Sakurajima Volcano. You can also get a distant view of Kagoshima from above. Since I wanted to walk the Lava Coast Walking Trail, I chose to get off at Karasujima Observatory and walk all the way to the ferry terminal, which takes about 40 minutes. However, walking along the coast is very pleasant, with very few people, making it perfect for daydreaming. Seeing the foot bath means you've reached the end of the trail~~ You can relax with a foot bath! But I think it would be even more beautiful to walk around sunset. If you plan to take a day trip to Sakurajima, it is recommended to buy a day pass that includes the ferry. Just taking the round-trip ferry and three Sakurajima buses is worth the ticket price! You can continue to use it when you return to Kagoshima, and there are also discounts on admission to several attractions, which is very cost-effective.

The Sakurajima Sightseeing Bus is the ideal means of transport to explore the western area of ​​Sakurajima, providing a convenient and fast service that allows visitors to easily enjoy the magnificent scenery of this active volcanic island. The bus starts and ends at Sakurajima Port. There are about 15 trips a day, with 12 major stops along the way, allowing tourists to get on and off at any time to explore major attractions. The Observation Deck Bus Route covers three great observation decks, including: Ushima Observatory: The closest viewing point to Sakurajima, offering spectacular views of the volcano. Akamizu Observation Plaza: Look up at Sakurajima from the lawn and enjoy a different perspective. Yunohira Observation Deck: 373 meters above sea level, overlooking the magnificent scenery of Sakurajima and its surroundings. There are local souvenir shops and hot spring facilities near the bus stop, such as "Hinotori Souvenir Shop" and "Sakurajima MAGUMA Onsen", so visitors can easily buy souvenirs or enjoy a hot spring bath. The Sakurajima Sightseeing Bus is not only a means of transportation, but also the best partner for tourists to explore the natural beauty and culture of Sakurajima. Whether admiring the spectacular views of the volcano or enjoying the local cuisine and hot springs, this bus route provides a convenient and comfortable travel experience. #Bus

One of the places I always wanted to visit was Sakurajima because a band I used to listen to had a song themed around it. You can reach the island in about 15 minutes by ferry from Kagoshima. The view of Sakurajima from the ferry was the best angle, for better or worse. I also enjoyed the process of gradually approaching Sakurajima. When I arrived on the island and walked around, I saw evacuation shelters that I had never seen before, reminding me that Sakurajima is still active.

Enter your mobile phone number on the machine at the entrance of the store to make a reservation. ③かるかん recommends Akashiya’s. It’s like the rice cakes I ate when I was a kid. It’s lightly sweet and super delicious! Available both inside and outside the station, but the shelf life is very short ④There are two major stations in Kagoshima. Kagoshima Station is convenient to Shiroyama Park and the Aquarium. Kagoshima Chuo Station is convenient to take the Shinkansen. Both stations are connected by JR. ⑤Everyone has to order one portion of Shirokuma Shaved Ice. The normal size is for 1 to 2 people (a very big portion), so just order the baby size. ⑥The Seal of the Hundred Castles of Kagoshima Castle is in the [Aimeikan] at the foot of the mountain, but the Aimeikan is closed on Mondays. You can also go to the [Kagoshima Castle Seal] near Central Park, and you can also buy the castle seal.

Kotogawa River is located in the central area of ​​Kagoshima City, in the heart of Kagoshima City, just a 5-minute walk from Kagoshima Chuo Station. The banks of the Kotogawa River are a famous historical trail where two great Japanese historical figures, Saigo Takamori and Okubo Toshimichi, were born and grew up. The "Reshin Hometown Museum" is also located on the banks of the Gatsu River, making this place even more full of history. In April, there are about 500 cherry trees in full bloom on both sides of the Jiatuchuan Trail. With the flowing river and the sunlight shining, the scenery is ever-changing and unforgettable. The lights will be turned on from dusk to 10 pm for visitors to enjoy the beautiful night cherry blossoms. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms flying around is really a beautiful scene. 📍Address: Kajiya-cho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture #Flower Viewing #100 Ways to Travel

The route is from Kagoshima Chuo Station 🚃 to Ibusuki Station IBUTAMA, a total of about 1 hour A sightseeing train worth experiencing, the scenery is beautiful, and the interior design has a European feel👍 Ibusuki, located in the southern part of Kagoshima Prefecture, is a place full of beautiful legends in Japan. The "Ibusuki Tamatebako" is a new sightseeing train designed and manufactured based on local legends. "Urashima Taro" is a fairy tale known to all Japanese, young and old. According to legend, Urashima Taro visited the Sea Dragon Palace. Many of the attractions in the fairy tale are located in Ibusuki, so the idea of ​​the sightseeing train was to use this fairy tale as the background. Tamatebako means "moonlight treasure box" and is an indispensable theme in the story of Urashima Taro's journey to the Dragon Palace. Along the way, we head south along the scenic Jinjiang Bay, surrounded by mountains and sea, and enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way to Ibusuki. There are beautiful views outside the window, and there are many surprises waiting for you inside the car. The train's exterior design is novel and unique, one white and one black. The sea side of the train is painted white and equipped with seats for sea views, while the mountain side is painted black and equipped with passenger seats and reading seats. The meticulous interior design of the carriages is also a major feature of the sightseeing train. When you get off the bus, a spray will be used to create the scene of opening a treasure box, giving you a dynamic feeling of traveling through time and space. It is an unforgettable special riding experience. How can you know how wonderful it is if you don’t experience it yourself? Take the fairytale-filled "Ibusuki Tamatebako" and add a special memory to your journey!

During my business trip to Kagoshima, I stayed at the 'Henn na Hotel'. Henn na Hotel is operated by HIS. The lobby is on the second floor and is basically unmanned, but if you contact the front desk via the intercom, a staff member will come out, so you can feel at ease. The lobby had a laundry area, a place to store your luggage by yourself, and manga. The room has towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, conditioner, and body soap, but other amenities are available at the amenity bar on the second floor, where you can help yourself. The room is not spacious, but it is comfortable. The best part is that there is an LG Styler, so you can sanitize and dry your clothes, which was very convenient! There is a bathtub in the room, but I often used the large public bath on the 12th floor. It seems that the sauna is only available in the men's bath. It was also nice to be able to check the congestion of the laundry and the large public bath on the TV monitor. There are many convenience stores and restaurants nearby, so I would like to stay at this hotel again when I visit Kagoshima.

#100 Ways to Travel: The entire Sakurajima is my pastoral landscape! ! Senganen is located in the "Kagoshima" area of ​​Kyushu. Kagoshima was still called "Satsuma Domain" in the 19th century. It was the land used by the "Shimazu" family as a villa 🏠. From here you can see the famous volcano 🌋~ "Sakurajima" in the distance. The view from afar is really magnificent and shocking! 😱 History: As the villa of the Shimazu family, the style of Senganen is certainly not to be underestimated. It is one of the best gardens in Kyushu. It was established in the Edo period in 1658. The park combines natural scenery such as Sakurajima and Kinko Bay as a backdrop. It was rated as a World Cultural Heritage in 2015 and is also part of the "Meiji Japan Industrial Revolution Heritage". It is a pioneer representative of the modern industry during the "Meiji Restoration" period. Its historical positioning and significance are very extraordinary! ! In addition, travelers who are interested in Taiga dramas or Japanese historical dramas should be familiar with "Atsuhime" ~ the scene where it was filmed was in "Senganen"! ! , and the Kagoshima area is also the hometown of Atsuhime, and is also an important driving force for the "Meiji Development"! ! Park attractions: 1. "Tin Gate": It has a bright red appearance and was used as the main gate during the Edo period. It is made entirely of tin and is very heavy! ! At that time, only the eldest son of the heir could pass✅ 2. "Goden": It is a guest house for receiving important guests. It also has the "Encounter Room" as the main reception place. The famous "Tsar Nicholas II" and "King Edward VIII of England" have visited successively 3. "Shigen-ryu. Jigen-ryu": It is a way for the samurai in the ancient Kagoshima area to train 🏋️ swordsmanship! ! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Did you know? Kyushu, Japan, is about the same size as Taiwan. It has diverse natural resources and cultural landscapes from north to south. There are many scenic spots worth exploring, so it is definitely not something that can be visited in just a few days. For tourists who are still in the initial stage of getting to know Kyushu, most of them will start with "Fukuoka" in Kitakyushu! This time we started driving by ourselves after entering Fukuoka Airport. We went to Yufuin and Kumamoto along the way and then back to Fukuoka. For the Kagoshima part, we chose to take the Shinkansen to Fukuoka! The advantage of self-driving is that you can flexibly adjust your itinerary and explore delicious food and attractions. What is particularly special is that we have arranged to visit Sakurajima, located in Kagoshima Prefecture, the southernmost tip of Kyushu. It is one of the few active volcanic islands that tourists can visit. In order to make tourists feel more at ease, this time we will briefly introduce "Sakurajima" The island's volcanic eruptions and historical information will also be recommended, as well as self-driving itineraries and other transportation methods around the island, so that everyone can dominate all the must-visit attractions on the first visit. Not only are local residents living on the island, there are also hot spring hotels specially designed for tourists, and the tourism facilities are very complete. To get to Sakurajima from Kagoshima City, first take a local bus or a local bus from Kagoshima-Chuo Station for about 15 minutes, get off at "Suiyakan-mae Station", and walk for about 5 minutes to "Sakurajima Ferry" Terminal (Kagoshima Port)", and then take the "Sakurajima Ferry" from the port to Sakurajima in about 20 minutes. It is recommended that tourists take advantage of discount tickets, such as the "Nishitetsu SUNQ PASS" which allows unlimited rides on most buses in Kyushu within a specified period, and the route bus from "Kagoshima Chuo Station" to "Aquarium-mae Station" Within the applicable scope, help save transportation costs! #fukuokatravel #sakurajimavolcano #高Chiho Canyon #Aso Volcano National Park #hakataramen #japankagoshimasenganen

Yoshino Park is a large urban park located northeast of Kagoshima City and covers an area of ​​30 hectares. In 1989, it was selected as one of the "Top 100 Urban Parks in Japan".

🤫 Regarding the various NPCs that the Japan Tourism Bureau has placed throughout Japan in order to improve user experience, I think everyone has encountered them more or less. During the sightseeing trip to the small island of Okinawa, the NPCs waving on the boat opposite; Beside the railway in Hokkaido, NPC grandparents put down their farm tools and waved to the train; When hiking in the mountains, the NPCs say hello with a smile; While riding on the beach, NPCs gasped and said, "Come on." ㅤ 🙂‍↔️Maybe seeing me become a travel blogger, the Japan Tourism Bureau even prepared a hidden version of NPC for me. ㅤ 🐈Our main task in Kagoshima this day was to walk along the walking trail from Shiroyama Park Observation Deck to Tsurumaru Castle. As a result, we looked at a cat before we could even look at it when we got to the mountain. The unlocking condition may be to touch it for three minutes. , until the cat was satisfied, stood up and said 😼"Sir, this way!" (knowing that we are foreigners). The cat just led us into the gap in the fence behind the observatory. A road opened on the screen and a new map appeared! Because we were afraid of turning into pigs, we walked hesitantly, and the cat turned back and stared at us😾 "If you don't eat, you won't turn into pigs." Go, go, go, and finally, the side mission becomes clear, it’s the Buddha statue! Do you want to say goodbye? Do you want to wash your hands first? During the hesitation, an NPC uncle 👨🏼‍🦰 appeared on the screen, instructing us to press our hands on the hidden mark of the big tree and pray for our wishes. Don’t forget to say "お愿いします"🙏🏼 The cat just watched us complete its task and disappeared in the roadless mountain. ㅤ It doesn’t matter if you didn’t catch a cat at the observatory. At least you caught me. The entrance to the road is on the steps behind the observatory. The railing in Figure 3 is not sealed. Go boldly. ㅤ 🌋Kagoshima does not have particularly spectacular scenery, but it is really suitable for eating and shopping. If you go to Senganen Garden, you must go to Sakurakatei. Lunch at Sakurajima Volcano View only costs less than 200 per person. After visiting the Cat Shrine, we walked back to the mountain. There were few people and it was easy to stroll around. If you have enough time, you can go to the nearby Iso Beach to watch the sea, Sakurajima volcano and people surfing🏄. ㅤ 🐂If you live near Kagoshima train station, you can go to "Kuroki" to experience Kagoshima's black beef. Follow the map and you will see a doorway with only stairs. There is a door only when you go to the second floor. You are not a regular customer. Very hard to find. If possible, make an appointment in advance. We couldn't make an appointment without a data card, so we chose to walk in after eight o'clock, and there happened to be half a private room available. I ordered a table of meat and distributed it to the meat-eating ancestors, "guess how much this meal cost." After discussion, the jury replied "1,000 per person", and the check was 803. This price for this meat is very good value for money. There is a seaweed salt flavored dipping sauce that is delicious, you can try it.

#Travelwithme I think this is the only place to see Sakurajima! Sengakuen, the former villa of the Shimazu clan of the Satsuma domain I wonder if the lord of the Shimazu clan saw this view a long time ago Before I visited, I just thought "Oh, it's just a garden..." You can see Sakurajima from all over the place I even took a boat to see it But! When I went, the view was many times more amazing than I had imagined! Of course, the garden is well-maintained and there are many things to see It's no wonder that it was used as a villa by the feudal lords! There are also remains that show how cutting-edge Satsuma was at the end of the Edo period. The lantern where Saigo Takamori is said to have experimented with gas lamps and the reverberatory furnace for casting iron cannons were very interesting and I enjoyed them so much that I forgot about time. The only thing that was unfortunate was that the Shoko Shuseikan Museum, which introduces the history and culture of the Shimazu clan, was closed. It is scheduled to reopen at the end of September 2024, so I hope to be able to visit Kagoshima again. There were also some very nice shops and restaurants in Sengan-en. Due to time constraints, I took out some janbomochi (rice cakes with two sticks) this time.

Kagoshima recommends Kirishima, Ibusuki, and Sakurajima. 🎏 Day 1 and the morning of Day 2: Ibusuki (Pictures 1️⃣2️⃣3️⃣4️⃣5️⃣6️⃣) 🚂 Departing from Kagoshima Chuo Station, you can take the black and white Ibusuki no Tamatebako train (Picture 14), which runs three times a day, all reserved seats, and requires advance reservation. The train offers limited edition black and white puddings. On the train, the black side has views of the mountains, and the white side has views of the sea, which is quite unique. It is recommended to stay near Ibusuki Station, where there are buses, electric bicycle rentals, and taxis. Ibusuki recommends visiting Chiringashima, Lake Ikeda, and Nagasakibana Shrine. ☀️ Chiringashima is an uninhabited island that emerges in Kinko Bay, isolated from the world. A sand bridge about 800 meters long appears on the sea surface connecting the island to the mainland for a few short hours before low tide, which is interesting. It is safe to walk on it only from March to October during low tide, and it takes about 20 minutes on foot to reach Chiringashima. The island largely retains its original natural ecology. 🌄 The sunset at Nagasakibana is very beautiful, but the last bus to Nagasakibana leaves at around 3 PM (Picture 6️⃣), which is a bit early for sunset viewing. The nearest train station to Nagasakibana is Nishi-Oyama Station, 18 minutes from Ibusuki Station, but there is no transportation from Nishi-Oyama Station to Nagasakibana, and it takes about an hour on foot. One option is to take a taxi round trip, another is to rent an electric bicycle at Ibusuki Station. 🎏 Afternoon of Day 2 and morning of Day 3: Kirishima (Pictures 7️⃣8️⃣) Kirishima is very beautiful, especially during the cherry blossom season, with cherry trees all along the way. The hot springs here are also famous. Kirishima Shrine is a must-visit for its beauty and atmosphere, and it is recommended to go there before 8 AM. (For more about Kirishima and Kirishima Shrine, please refer to my previous notes) 🎏 Afternoon of Day 3 and Day 4: Sakurajima (Pictures 9～13) Sakurajima is Japan's most active volcano, only four kilometers away from Kagoshima, so it is recommended to stay near Kagoshima Chuo Station on the nights of Day 3 and Day 4. From the port of Kagoshima City, take the ferry to Sakurajima, which runs every 20 minutes and takes 20 minutes for the whole journey. ⚠️ No ticket is needed for the ferry to Sakurajima; just board the ferry, and pay upon arrival at Sakurajima Port, where change machines are available. The return trip is paid at Sakurajima Port before boarding. Upon arriving at Sakurajima, get a Chinese version of the 'Sakurajima Area Map' (Picture 13) at the information center, and you can also buy a sightseeing bus ticket, a one-day pass for 500 yen, with hop-on hop-off privileges. The bus's highest point is 'Yunohira Observatory' (Pictures 11 and 12), and I highly recommend the 'Lava Coast Walking Trail' (Pictures 9️⃣🔟), which is less crowded and offers views of large black volcanic rocks by the sea🪨, very impressive. Not far from the trail, there is also a free foot bath to enjoy. 🎏 On the evening of Day 4, you can visit Kagoshima Chuo Station (end of the pictures), where there are plenty of restaurants and shopping.

#2024TravelWish This time when I go to Kagoshima, let’s do some real “stamp collecting”😆 The orange-red postbox is located next to the Senganen bus stop in Kagoshima. The orange-red postbox has the Sakurajima volcano as the background, which is very eye-catching🥰 The black and white postbox is located next to Ibusuki Station. The design of the entire postbox is like the JR Tamatebako number, half black and half white, which is very interesting🥰 The yellow mailbox is located at Nishi-Oyama Station, the southernmost station in Japan. It has the background of Mount Kaimon, also known as "Satsuma Fuji", and it means to convey happiness🥰 Actually, if you go to Ibusuki, there are two cute "stamp collecting tubes" that I thought of in 2024. One is pink and the other is pale green. They are on the observation deck of "Roadside Station Ibe Yoshiki Aya Hanakan". I hope to visit them next time♥️ How to get there: → Kagoshima Chuo Station → Take the Kagoshima City View Bus to Senganen →Take the JR train from JR Kagoshima Central Station to "Ibusuki" (you can book to take the "Tamatebako Sightseeing Train" for a more atmospheric experience) →Take JR from Kagoshima Chuo Station or Ibusuki Station directly to Nishi-Oyama Station #2024TravelWish #Kagoshima #Postbox #JR Nishi-Oyama Station #Ibusuki Station #Sengan-en #Roadside Station

#2024TravelWish The third Starbucks store registered as a "tangible cultural property" in Japan is located next to Senganen in Kagoshima. If you are visiting Kagoshima Senganen, we strongly recommend that you visit the nearby Starbucks. This two-story Starbucks has a traditional Japanese decoration, combining the culture and historical monuments of Kagoshima. You may as well come here to have a cup of coffee and check in, and also feel the cultural atmosphere. 2024 travel wish: I want to go to Kagoshima again and travel more slowly #2024TravelWish #StarbucksSenganen #Kagoshima Starbucks Senganen Address: 9688-1 Yoshino-cho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture Opening hours: 08:00-21:00

Located on the top floor of the Sheraton Kagoshima, this restaurant has a spectacular view of Sakurajima. The restaurant serves French-based cuisine with inspiration from Kagoshima's local cuisine and Chinese cuisine. All the dishes were delicious and looked cute, so we were very satisfied. The view is great, so it would be good for lunch. There are two private rooms, the smaller one with a Sakurajima view and the larger one with a mountain view. 👍Recommendation: The atmosphere of the larger private room is exquisite! It was especially good at sunset. 📍Spot name: FLYING HOG GRILL Address: 43-1 Komyocho, Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, 890-0051 Telephone number: 099-821-1111 Opening hours Lunch / 11:30-14:00 (13:00) Dinner / 18:00-22:00 (21:00) #Accommodation #KagoshimaHotel #KagoshimaTourism #KagoshimaTrip #KagoshimaGourmet

I bought a 2-day cute pass (¥1800) at the tourist service center in Kagoshima Chuo Station, had breakfast at the nearby Komada’s coffee, and took the tram to get off at the "Aquarium Gate" stop (the cute pass is free). After getting off the tram, follow the signs towards the pier/aquarium (5-8 minutes) and you will arrive at the pier. The ferry service to Sakurajima is very frequent and is free with a cute pass. After getting off the ship, you can take the island's sightseeing bus to plan your sightseeing route. (cute pass free) This time, after getting off the boat at the pier, we walked to the "Sakurajima Lava Nagisa Park Foot Bath" and enjoyed a foot bath before taking a sightseeing bus to the "Urasima Observatory". There are many cats here (unfortunately we only saw one this time 😅), and then walked to the "Akasui Observation Plaza" (10-15 minutes). The view is very broad, and there is a large area of ​​silver grass in autumn and winter, which is very attractive! After checking in, we jumped on the sightseeing bus to Yunohira Observatory to see the Sakurajima volcano! Then we took the sightseeing bus back to the pier and took the boat back to Kagoshima City. Sakurajima is a good place to slow down, walk around and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere♥️ My travel wish for 2024 is to go to Kagoshima again and experience this city slowly🥰 #2024TravelWish #Kagoshima #Sakurajima #Seoul
