Return by ferry to Kagoshima and visit Sengan-en, a historic Japanese garden overlooking Sakurajima and Kinko Bay. The driver speaks Japanese, with communication assisted by a translation app. Before your tour, you will receive an English digital guidebook about the itinerary and sightseeing locations.
