A large botanical garden overlooking the sea at the southern tip of the Satsuma Peninsula, covering about 36 hectares with subtropical flowers from around the world, and views of Mount Kaimon and the East China Sea.
Flower Park Kagoshima lies on a coastal terrace near Cape Nagasakibana. Covering about 36 hectares, it focuses on southern hemisphere and subtropical plants, with around 2,000 species of flowers and trees. The garden is divided into areas such as Australia and South Africa, and it has large greenhouses, so there are flowers to see year-round. The observation gallery offers views of Mount Kaimon and the sea. In winter, the park holds events such as light festivals. Admission is about 630 yen, and it is open from 9:00 to 17:00. It is about 25 minutes by car from Ibusuki Station and about 5 minutes from Cape Nagasakibana, making it a good addition to a half-day Ibusuki itinerary.
