Okubo Toshimichi is the great contributor to the Meiji Restoration and modernization of Japan. He was assassinated in 1878 just 1 year after the death of his friend, Saito. His statue looks as if he is crying in the rain.

Volcano Sakurajima Erupts (15:29 on 25 April 2015) Northwest wind 5m,
You can see much ash is falling from the eruption smoke of Sakurajima.
The mountain is very active in this weekend!
I keep watching Sakurajima everyday!
I would be appreciated if you subscribe to my channel.
(Symbol of Kagoshima)
Sakurajima is the symbol of Kagoshima, Japan.
It erupts almost every day!
Under the foot of this active volcano, many famous people have changed the history of Japan. Those people include Mt. Takamori Saito, Mr. Toshimichi Okubo, Mr. Tatewaki Komatsu, Princess Atsu-Hime and Lord Nariakira Shimazu.
(Where is Sakurajima?)
Sakurajima is located in the center of Kagoshima.
It is located in the middle of Kagoshima Bay and at the south of Kyushu Island, Japan.
You can go to the Sakurajima from Kagoshima City by ferry. You can have delicious Japanese Udon nooles on the ferry.
Sakurajima is connected to the Osumi Peninsula and you can go to the Sakurajima from the Peninsula (Tarumizu City) by car.
(Brief Explanation)
Sakurajima is an active volcano. Minor eruption occurs almost every day.
Sometime massive eruption takes places, but there have not been the lost of human life in the past decades. So, please be relaxed and come to Kagoshima!
It has an elevation of 1,117 meters and a circumference of about 50 kilometers.
(Sighseeing Sakurajima)
There is a Nagisa Park near the Sakurajima Port. There, you can take free foot bath and enjoy wonderful view of Kagoshima City and Kinko Bay.
I also recommend you to have Sakurajima small oranges. It is very sweet and delicious!
You can have go to the Yunoura Observatory Platform. It is the 5th station of Sakurajima
(Life in Kagoshima with Sakurajima)
Kagoshima City is very closed to the Sakurajima.
Are city people safe in such a close distance from the active volcano?
If the wind flows from east, volcanic ashes fall on Kagoshima City.
The ash causes my eyes ache. I cannot go out without a mask covering my mouth.
I cannot wash my hair easily due to ash.
If ash is much amount, it is hard to drive a car because you cannot see in front of you. If wiper moves fast, it can damages windshield of the car. Please be careful!
Many Japanese children made the sandy mountain with my friends, but I collected ash at the garden and made many ASH mountains in my childfood
(History of the Island)
The most powerful eruption happened in 1914.
Sakurajima was an island, but the much lava sprang up at the time and the Sakurajima was connected to the Osumi Peninsula.
Much ashes fell on Kagoshima City and the sky was not visible for several days.
There is Kurokami Shrine on Sakurajima. The eruption buried an half part of the shrine gate with ash.
