Sengan-en (Iso Garden) was constructed in 1658 by Daimyo Shimazu Mitsuhisa, the feudal clan that controlled Kagoshima and the Satsuma-hanto Peninsula from the Feudal Era to the Meiji Restoration of 1868 (Edo period; 17th through mid-19th centuries). With Sakurajima and Kagoshima Bay as its backdrop (weather permitting), Sengan-en boasts cherry blossoms in the spring, and a variety of plants and trees that make for an interesting landscape, as well as small ponds, streams, shrines and a bamboo grove.

Your half-day tour begins as you board your motorcoach and travel south to the Satsuma-hanto Peninsula, a mountainous, geothermal wonderland of hot springs. Your first stop is Chiran, the stronghold of the Shimazu samurai during Japan's Feudal Era.

Your half-day narrated tour begins as you board your motorcoach for a short transfer to Kagoshima port. Upon arriving, you'll travel by ferry for nearly 15 minutes to Sakurajima, one of Japan's most active volcanoes.

Set atop Otakasa Hill, the impressive structure is the only castle in the country with its wooden interior, castle tower, and impressive entrance still intact. The "donjon," or main tower, provides celebrated, panoramic views of the whole city, making it well worth the climb to the top.

And his acclaimed garden has been replicated here within a seven-acre landscape. In the Flower Garden you'll find approximately 70,000 flowers and plants that change with the seasons. The Water Garden features a taiko bridge arched over a pond, Japanese wisteria trellis, willow and bamboo trees, and a selection of water lilies.

Located on the tip of the Muroto Peninsula, the park not only showcases Kochi's natural beauty, but also its fascinating geological heritage. Muroto is a subduction zone: a place where one section of the earth's crust goes below another. It's here, where Shikoku collides with the Pacific Ocean in a spectacular coastline, that new land is formed. Long ago, as the plate beneath the Pacific Ocean sank, the land was gradually lifted up by large earthquakes and the rock formations left behind are a beautiful record of how the planet is always changing. A walk on the path offers views of rock formations that were lifted up from the sea floor, subtropical vegetation and underwater caves.

Located deep in the heart of Shikoku Island, the secluded area is famous for its steep mountain slopes and deep rocky gorges that were once crossed by bridges handmade with ropes and vines. These bridges were a means of transporting people and goods across gorges and valleys and the Kazurabashi Bridge is one of three remaining rope bridges left from over a dozen that used to be located throughout the region. Stretching 160 feet across a gulch and 45 feet above a small river, it's very well-maintained and is rebuilt every three years.

You'll travel past palm-lined white-sand beaches and the airport built by the Americans.
