Geocache Description:


Shiroyama observatory is located on top of the hill at an altitude of 107m.
 It commands a view of downtown Kagoshima,Sakurajima volcano and Kinko Bay.

If you go during the day of a sunny day , it recommends the afternoon than in the morning ..
Since Shiroyama observatory direction to look is the eastward , .
is better in the afternoon than in the morning to become the backlight , " Sakurajima " is clearly visible .

Dusk even enjoy the majestic Sakurajima silhouette ,
 such as Tenmonkan and the harbor of a state of downtown at night ,
A great panoramic night view of Kagoshima , 
which is praised as " Oriental Naples " will spread in front .

I moved a little bit and re-installed it in a corner of ”Shiroyama Don Square” near the observation deck. Hints are also changed. Enjoy geocaching!

 

Promenade entrance leading to Shiroyama observatory is located in two places. 
About two kilometers of the course (time required about 20 minutes) will be able to climb.

 Access: Get off at the Shiroyama stop of Kagoshima City View Bus"Shiroyama and  Iso Course"
or same bus stop of Machimeguri-Bus.


城山は鹿児島市街中心部に位置する標高107mの小高い山で、
展望台からは鹿児島市街地をはじめ、雄大な桜島や鹿児島湾(錦江湾)を一望できます。
晴れた日の昼間に行く場合は、逆光になる午前中よりも午後のほうが「桜島」がはっきりと見えます。

夕暮れ時は雄大な桜島のシルエットも楽しめ、夜になると「東洋のナポリ」と称えられる
鹿児島市の見事なパノラマ夜景が眼前に広がります。

展望台に至る遊歩道入り口は2ケ所あり、約2キロメートルのコース(所用時間約30分)となっています。

場所を少し移動し、展望台そばの城山ドン広場の片隅に再設置しました。ヒントも変更しています。引き続きgeocachingをお楽しみください!
