Izumi City and Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Pref.(28-30, December, 2005)
I visited Izumi City to watch cranes. Izumi City is the largest wintering place for cranes in East Asia. More than 10 thousand of cranes visit here.
I rode local trains and visited Kagoshima City also. I could see Sakura-jima Island from the hotel bathroom.
