Swim in Kinko Bay with Sakurajima Before You Until Evening

About this spot

A beach in Kagoshima City's Iso district, open from July 10 (Friday) to August 31 (Monday) 2026, 10 AM to 6 PM. The greatest appeal is swimming in Kinko Bay with Sakurajima directly before you. Swimming while gazing at Sakurajima with its volcanic smoke is an experience unique to Kagoshima. The beach house is open 24/7 year-round, with showers, changing rooms, and lockers fully equipped, so families with small children have minimal worries about luggage and clothing. Not far from Sengan Garden, it's ideal for enjoying both historical exploration and swimming in one day.
