Starting October 1, Kagoshima City will raise admission fees for non-residents at 14 major public attractions, including Hirakawa Zoo and Kagoshima Aquarium. While local residents will retain discounted prices, tourists will pay more—up to ¥2,000 for the aquarium. The city cites rising maintenance costs and aims to balance fairness between users and non-users. Proof of residence, such as a My Number card or city app, will be required for local rates.
