Kagoshima central tower

Kagoshima Central Tower is a modern high-rise building next to the main station with 24 floors and a straightforward design. It houses shops, offices, and restaurants that connect directly to the railway station below.

The tower was built during a period when Kagoshima modernized itself as a regional center and reshaped its infrastructure. It represents the urban growth that Japanese provincial capitals experienced in recent decades.

The tower incorporates contemporary Japanese architectural principles with its angular design and functional integration into the surrounding transportation infrastructure.

Access is straightforward since the building connects directly with the railway station and sits among other shops and services. You will find restaurants and stores spread across different floors that are easy to explore.

From the upper floors, visitors can watch the active Sakurajima volcano across the bay. This view blends the energy of the modern city with the raw power of the natural landscape.
