In the heart of Kagoshima, Dolphin Port (ドルフィンポート) stands as an iconic tourist and shopping complex on the shores of Kinko Bay. Inaugurated in April 2005, this modern space offers a pleasant promenade on wooden pontoons, where restaurants and boutiques follow one another harmoniously. The site is a privileged vantage point for observing the majestic Sakurajima volcano, symbol of the region. Visitors can sample the local gastronomy while admiring an exceptional panorama of the bay, home to numerous dolphins. Dolphin Port is a perfect example of Kagoshima's blend of urban modernity and natural beauty.
