How to get on Kagoshima City Tram



Kagoshima City Tram is a streetcar operated by Kagoshima City.

A variety of streetcars are in operation, including the “U-Tram,” a low-floor car with a comfortable ride, the “Denden,” a Hakuma Kurobuta train, the “Next Tram Chirico,” a car with a motif of Satsuma facets, and the “Cafetram,” a private tramcar for rent.

In 2010, a “lawn mower and water sprinkler tram” was created by converting a tram, which is rare in the world, and the city is actively engaged in greening and maintenance of the city.

one-day ticket

A one-day pass for streetcars, city buses, and City View is available for 600 yen for adults and 300 yen for children (as of November 1, 2022). If you only use the streetcar, you can get your money’s worth in four rides. The City Bus and Kagoshima City View also offer unlimited rides on all lines.

Conclusion

Various types of vehicles are running. The new “U-Tram” cars have low floors and no steps. There are also three different types of U-Trams, each of which is different from the others. There are many trains in operation, so it is interesting to buy a one-day pass and compare the different types of trains.
