Kagoshima, Japan

Like Naples, to which it is always compared, Kagoshima is dominated by the smoking cone of a volcano, towering Mt. Sakurajima. See where St. Francis Xavier arrived in 1549, the West's first contact with Japan. Wander the colorful stalls of the morning market. Visit the exquisite Iso-teien garden and villa.
