Most people in Kagoshima don’t even know that we can see dolphins quite easily right here in the bay. I started a dolphin watching experience in 2011.

Being right in front of the city they see it every day and make the mistake of thinking they know everything about it.

This makes it quite easy to see dolphins out in the bay if you know where to look.
