Kumamoto to Kagoshima Port

Hi,

I'm travelling from Kumamoto Station to Kagoshima Port.

Which is the best station to get off and get to Kagoshima Port?

Should I get off at Kagoshima Chuo station then catch the taxi/ tram or get off at Kagoshima station then catch the taxi?

Which is a better option?

Thanks.

You can take the shinkansen from Hakata station to Kagoshima Chuo Station.

Which port are you going to?

If it is the jetfoil port, take the bus from Kagoshima Chuo Station. It is the second stop. There are a few buses per hour. As for where to take a taxi... no idea.

There is a direct bus from Kagoshima-Chou to the port. I seem to remember that it was 150-250 yen. I rode the bus from Kagashima-Chou to the port when I went to Yakushima Island on a jetfoil. The bus pulled directly into the port's loading and unloading zone.

The ferry to Sakurajima is located further north, and I believe that the bus also stops threre, after going by the Aquarium. The aquarium stop may be the best stop for both, but I am not sure of this.

When I returned from Yakushima Island, I took the first bus back to Kagoshima station to catch a Limited Express train to Miyazaki. The port area looked interesting, but I didn't have time to explore.

I hope this helps.
