Skating at Ramp Labo – A Hidden Gem in Kagoshima
Last weekend, I reached out to Shinya Kodaira to see what plans he had in store. He mentioned he was taking his family to Ramp Labo in Kagoshima Prefecture for a skate session, followed by a visit to Sogi Falls. When he described Sogi Falls as the “Niagara Falls of Kyushu Island,” I knew I couldn’t miss out. Without hesitation, I grabbed Momo, and we headed south!
Ramp Labo officially opened its doors on May 29, 2022, and here’s the best part—all skateboarding is currently FREE! The park features a wide 4’5″ mini ramp, which turned out to be super fun and, surprisingly, not too slippery. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skater, it’s a great spot to check out.

Sogi Falls – The Niagara of Kyushu
After our skate session, we made our way to Sogi Falls, and wow—it did not disappoint! This waterfall is one of the most breathtaking sights I’ve seen in Japan. Unfortunately, I only had about 20 minutes to take it all in, but I definitely need to go back and spend a full day exploring.
Big Thanks to the Kodaira Family

A huge shoutout to Shinya Kodaira and his family for letting us crash their weekend trip! If you’re ever in Kagoshima Prefecture, make sure to visit Ramp Labo for some skating and then cool off at Sogi Falls—you won’t regret it!
