Volcano Hiking Adventure | Kagoshima Sakurajima ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Start your year with -- a VOLCANIC EXPLOSION! Japan's most active volcano is also a great place for lava trail hiking, hot spring bathing and pure adventure.
Where is this magical volcano you ask? It's down on Kyushu Island in Kagoshima Prefecture (1,300km from Tokyo) and that ash and fire throwing cone is SAKURAJIMA!
You can get there by ferry in 15 minutes from the city center for a ridiculous 180 yen / $1.50, about 4km across the sea.
Sakurajima is famous for island mikan, much smaller and sweeter than on the mainland. The Sakurajima DAIKON RADISH which can weigh as much as 45kg is also well known. It's the biggest radish in the world. (Are you excited yet?)
If radishes aren't enough, there's that LAVA TRAIL and loads of paths for bicycling. Not far away are sea view onsen baths where you can soak up those minerals and long views across the sea.
The Sakurajima Visitor's Center is the place to start your adventure.
Inside, data on the island's volcanic activity and history is all documented with diagrams and videos. There's also a gift shop with some cool things to buy.
I went in the off season (January) but that shouldn't stop you from visiting. It just means you get the whole place to yourself.
The population on Sakurajima is quite old. I met a 97 year old woman who was walking around just fine. She was half my size but seemed to have twice my energy so I think there's something truly magical about this island. I hope some of that magic rubs off onto you as well.
HOW TO GET THE SAKURAJIMA:
It's a 90-115 minute flight from Tokyo (Haneda or Narita Airport)
or a 7 hour trip on the Shinkansen. Great if you have a JR Rail Pass!
Buses depart regularly from Kagoshima Airport to the city center where you can either grab a taxi to the ferry terminal or a bus from Chuo-Kagoshima Station. It's a short ride.
THE SAKURAJIMA FERRY:
It's 24 hours, departing every 15-20 minutes.
Adults: 180 yen ($1.50)
Child: 90 Yen ($0.75)
Ferry Schedule and Guide:
Try a bowl of udon or soba on board for 480 yen!

Kagoshima City - Japan - Sakurajima - Gourmet Street - Hokke Hotel
Living in the Shadows of a Volcano
Kagoshima City is the administrative, economic, and cultural center of Kagoshima Prefecture and is a castle town dating back to the 14th century. The city and its suburbs are located on the northeastern part of Satsuma Peninsula and face the Kagoshima Bay, which is more commonly known as Kinko Bay.
The smoking Sakurajima centered in Kinko Bay is one of the main symbols of Kagoshima Prefecture. Throughout history Sakurajima (4 km from central Kagoshima City) has been the site of multiple massive eruptions and continues to be one of the most well-known active volcanos in the world. Sakurajima was originally an isolated island however, as a result of the eruption of 1914, the island was joined to the adjacent Osumi Peninsula. The leva fields can still be seen on the island as testament to the history of the volcano's eruptions. - Japan Tourism

서양의 문물을 일찍 받아들였던 사쓰마번은 근대 산업의 발전도 주도했다. 여기는 19세기 유리공예 공장을 다시 복원한 곳으로， 유리제품을 만들고 있다. 이 공장에서는 １９세기 전통 방식 그대로 공예품을 만든다. 유리를 불고 다듬어 그릇을 만들고， 색깔을 입힌 표면을 기계로 갈아 완성한다. 160년 전， 사쓰마 번에서 만들기 시작한 ‘사쓰마 기리코’는 가고시마를 대표하는 특산품이 됐다. 영롱한 색깔과 정교하게 다듬어진 무늬가 무척이나 아름답다.

Satsuma Burn, who accepted Western artifacts early, led the development of modern industry. This is a reconstruction of 19th century glass craft factory, making glassware. This factory makes crafts in the style of the 19th century. The glass is blown and polished to make a bowl, and the finished surface is finished by machine. Satsuma Kiriko, which began to be made in Satsuma Bay 160 years ago, became a special product representing Kagoshima. The colors and elaborate patterns are very beautiful.

Sakurajima, Japan - Sakurajima Island Volcano Tour (2019)
Sakurajima (Japanese: 桜島, literally Cherry blossom Island) is an active composite volcano, formerly an island and now a peninsula, in Kagoshima Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan. The lava flows of the 1914 eruption connected it with the Ōsumi Peninsula. It is the most active volcano in Japan.
The volcanic activity still continues, dropping volcanic ash on the surroundings which continues as of March 2019. Earlier eruptions built the white sand highlands in the region. The most recent eruption started on May 2, 2017. On September 13, 2016 a team of experts from Bristol University and the Sakurajima Volcano Research Centre in Japan suggested that the volcano could have a major eruption within 30 years.
Sakurajima is a stratovolcano. Its summit has three peaks, Kita-dake (northern peak), Naka-dake (central peak) and Minami-dake (southern peak) which is active now.
Kita-dake is Sakurajima's highest peak, rising to 1,117 m (3,665 ft) above sea level. The mountain is in a part of Kagoshima Bay known as Kinkō-wan. The former island is part of the city of Kagoshima. The surface of this volcanic peninsula is about 77 km2 (30 sq mi).
Kagoshima (鹿児島市 Kagoshima-shi, Japanese: [ka̠ɡo̞ɕima̠]) is the capital city of Kagoshima Prefecture at the south western tip of the island of Kyushu in Japan, and the largest city in the prefecture by some margin. It has been nicknamed the Naples of the Eastern world for its bay location (Aira Caldera), hot climate, and emblematic stratovolcano, Sakurajima. The city was officially founded on April 1, 1889.
日本九州鹿兒島市覓獲精美早餐後自駕乘汽車渡輪往櫻島活火山+海景酒店-粵語解述2019 Kagoshima Vehicular Ferry to Sakurajima
櫻島一直都是鹿兒島的驕傲，圍在櫻島兩旁的鹿兒島、霧島居民長期以來更為了爭奪兩地哪一個是觀看櫻島美景的最佳角度而爭論不休，來到鹿兒島旅行的我們怎麼錯過這個櫻島旅遊的機會，到櫻島有兩種方式，一是直接開車經由霧島往南從連接櫻島的道路進入，另外一種就是從鹿兒島『櫻島渡輪乘船處』由碼頭直接開車上渡輪到櫻島。開車的話直接導航『櫻島渡輪乘船處』的電話號碼即可，過橋後順著指標就可以到達碼頭了！進到碼頭內會有多人沿途指揮上船，24小時都有船班，每10~15分鐘就會有一班船，所以不用太擔心搭不到，就小心慢慢駕駛即可。裡頭也會有人指揮，到達指定地點停車熄火，職員會在車輪放置兩塊木頭防止輪胎滑動。不少人搭船喜歡來吃美味的烏龍麵，看了看指標，是在三樓，於是不管腳還在鐵腿就默默的雙手攙扶著鐵扶手往樓上爬！清楚的運費在這裡也可以看到，下船才給錢。在三樓這裡有簡易的食堂，可以買飲料、吃飯等。聽說這裡的烏龍麵很好吃，當然要來上一碗囉～來個半熟蛋烏龍麵一份500 yen，一旁有附冰水可以自行取用。把麵端到船尾的座位邊看著船離開鹿兒島邊賞用這美味的烏龍麵，真的是景觀與美味兼具,不久船靠岸了，打開閘門後，會有工作人員指揮出去，一台一台的照著指示井然有序的開出船，完成這有趣的體驗。付錢的閘門設在很前頭，這樣就算排隊付錢也不會阻礙到船的進出，付錢的方式會依照車子的大小及人員多寡來計算。

Sakurajima, one of Japan's most active volcanoes and is the symbol of Kagoshima. The volcano emits smoke constantly, and minor eruptions often occur many times per day. Located in the middle of Kagoshima Bay, Sakurajima is the area's most splendid geographic feature, having an elevation of 1117 meters and a circumference of about 50 kilometers.
Before a strong eruption in 1914, Sakurajima used to be an island in the bay, but the massive lava flow from that eruption created the volcano's current land connection to the Osumi Peninsula in the east. However For a great number of travelers the volcano is still most easily accessed by the ferries that run the 3.5 kilometers between Kagoshima Port and the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal.
Sakurajima has three main peaks: Kita-dake(peak) (, 1117 meters), Naka-dake (1060 meters) and Minami-dake (1040 meters). The Minami-dake peak is currently the most active, with a lot of eruptions taking place from the Showa Crater on the peak's eastern slope. Approaching within two kilometers of the volcano's craters is banned, but there are many observation points around Sakurajima where eruptions can be seen from about three kilometers away.
