- I’m in Kagoshima in the very south west of Japan’s Kyushu island. Sakurajima volcano is in the distance, smoke rising! Let’s explore from the castle to the Saigo Takamori statue of Last Samurai fame.

Wow.. This brings back memories . How i miss Japan and Kagoshima.It´s really a pity that Kagoshima castle were destroyed in the fire.
Thanks John for showing us a piece of Kagoshima, a special place in my heart as I had a definite spiritual connection with this city. Such strong historical samurai lines, a modern yet relaxed downtown area, many lovely shotengai, and Kagoshima unagi is also delicious! Senganen Park is a stunning vantage point for views of Sakurajima volcano 🌋 and even has a shrine dedicated to cats 😻 Looking forward to seeing the main channel video!
Your videos have given me comfort. I just came back from Japan two days ago, and I have become so blue. I miss Japan very much, the previous time I was there in 2018 I stayed for 2 months. I wish I could live there, but as a 34 yr old, I feel like it's a hopeless dream. 😢 thank you for your videos
A few years ago I took the ship from Okinawa and stopped at almost every of the inhabited islands and lots of them had statues of Saigo-san
I remember walking next to the statue you showed there slowly traveling around on my working holiday, good memories.
Awesome John! Thank you
Thank you for sharing your wisdom and time with us. Always a relaxing pleasure to watch and learn.
Amazing place. Thanks for sharing it. ✌️
Ahh Kagoshima. I was there in June and ate the tastiest chicken, beef and pork I have ever had in my life 😍
Wow interesting, I wonder why

Thanks John, we haven’t been to Kagoshima yet, it’s beautiful
It’s a must then! Sometime Kagoshima has to make it on the list, I am reminded why everything I go :) thank you!
Hey John, finally on holidays in Japan with my family!! just want to say thank you for all your content and answering my questions in the live feeds over the years. So helpful for planning our adventure here. Have a great day, Kanpai!
Hey john, Thank you for your videos and all that you do! Keep it up!
✨Amazing 👑
Looking forward to catching the rest of this video. In your intro standing near the reconstructed Castle Gate with the shogako (grade school) in the background brought back memories of our visit there earlier this year. Despite it raining cats and dogs we ventured into the nearby streets to locate the various street food offerings that would be given out by local merchants in exchange for cut out coupons on a map of the area. (Our favorites were the miniature donuts.) Such fun, even in the rain.
I'll have to watch the rest of the video to learn if you saw the reconstructed sauna from the original castle. Apparently Kagoshima Castle and Nagoya Castle were the only two Japanese Castles to have a sauna-like bath included. Quite an engineering feat for the Edo Period and without knowledge of the European saunas invented in Finland.
We are looking forward to a return visit to Kagoshima in late March and perhaps once again we will get to see volcanic smoke/steam pouring out of Mount Sakurajima as it looms over the city. Oh, we did get a glimpse of the statue as our bus passed by but given your introduction will now have to include a visit there this time. Funny thing is just after we saw the statue there was a huge billboard promoting the area's Wagyu and I immediately thought of you and your impressive efforts to educate us about Japanese Wagyu including how Kagoshima was victorious in the Wagyu Olympics.

Kagoshima is beautiful. Thanks for sharing some of the history with us. A shame that the local vending machines didn't take Suica! No hydration for you!
Aloha my brother. Kagoshima looked like a great place to visit. I was wondering if there was a Kagoshima Wagyu place to eat there?
Oh, you mention wide avenues... if you look they dont have lines as its officially only meant to be one lane each way (I believe). It was in the newspaper last year.
Yay!! Kagoshima 🙌🙌

Kagoshima representing! ٩(^‿^)۶
John Daub. advocate for manhole covers! ❤ Ooo....I have to watch, "You only live twice" and look for those scenes of Kagoshima. Thanks for the playlist tip. I definitely will watch! Thanks John!
Thanks
Nice
Kagoshima! The home of the almighty Shimazu clan. Hands down the most talented singular family during the Sengoku period.
I got back from here a few weeks ago! They had a Ghibli exhibition running in the museum.
I will be in Japan in April... the 007/YOLT connection is enough reason for me to add this historic place to my plans.
Hello,
I was just wondering. you sometimes mention your main channel. Is this your main channel, or do you have another one?😊
Hi John my wife and I will be in Kyushu (based in Fukuoka) Oct 1-5 maybe we’ll see you🤩 in Kagoshima when you go back to finish your story😉
it's IZ*ONE Miyawaki Sakura's hometown

Hey John what the difference between the shogun and the samurai?
Shogun is the highest-ranking samurai or general. So, Shogun is the boss, samurai were minios
@@dejanawaludin522 thank you so much
Really love Japanese historical sites, sadly castle was destroyed 😢
I love it John seeing a Japanese castle and telling about the history of Kagoshima castle
The inserts are annoying. Good content but please keep it down to a minimum.
