The peculiar terrain of Yamagawa Harbour came into existence 5700 years ago when a caldera was created by the eruption of a submarine volcano.

Yamagawa Harbour is situated at the southern tip of mainland Kyushu and has a deep history.

Nowadays, Yamagawa’s fishing industry thrives, particularly its bonito production. You can really taste and savour the flavour of the fish dishes at the restaurants and marketplaces in this area. If you walk around the town of this Japanese port city, you can enjoy the characteristic scenery and plants from southern countries.
