Kikai Town Hometown Tax
Children's carefree lives woven from the blessings of the island
Located 380km south of the mainland, Kikaijima is an uplifted coral reef island in the northeastern part of the Amami Islands.
This island has been designated a geopark and selected as a World Geological Heritage Site (2nd edition), a testament to its globally recognized geological value. The magnificent topography created by uplift of approximately 2 mm per year, along with the tropical specialty products nurtured by its rich natural environment, are highly regarded as return gifts.
Furthermore, we are actively working to expand the number of visitors and revitalize the region through initiatives such as supporting families raising children and the coral reef study abroad program (high school students studying on remote islands).

![[From Yoka Guide] ~ Beware of ashfall when sightseeing in Kagoshima ~ An eruption has been continuing at the summit crater of Sakurajima's Minamidake mountain from the evening of May 5th to the morning of the 15th. If you are sightseeing in Kagoshima city, please do not forget to bring an umbrella as rain is forecast from the evening of the 16th to tomorrow and the day after. An umbrella can also protect you from ash. We also recommend checking the weather forecast for the Kagoshima region to see the hourly wind direction and areas where ashfall is expected on Sakurajima. *As of the morning of the 16th, ashfall has been seen in Kagoshima City, Aira City, and other areas, and is expected to spread to Kirishima City, Hioki City, and the northern part of the prefecture. #Sakurajima #SakurajimaEruption #YokaGuideKagoshima #YokaGuideKagoshima #KagoshimaCity #KagoshimaTourism #Aira #Kirishima](https://yokaguide.com/cms/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
