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!

An Active Volcanic Island in Japan [Sakurajima Island]｜Day 98 - Kagoshima
Sakurajima (桜島) is one of Japan's most active volcanoes and the symbol of Kagoshima. The volcano smokes constantly, and minor eruptions often take place multiple times per day. Located in the middle of Kagoshima Bay, Sakurajima is the area's most prominent geographic feature, having an elevation of 1117 meters and a circumference of about 50 kilometers.
Before a powerful 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. For the majority of travelers, however, the volcano is still most easily accessed by the ferries that run the 3.5 kilometers between Kagoshima Port and the Sakurajima Ferry Terminal.

Visiting Sakurajima in the Kagoshima Prefecture | Japan Diary
Daisy and I took a ferry to Sakurajima Island, just of the coast of Kagoshima!
We ate some tasty mikan flavoured gelato, visited an onsen that looked over the water and took in the glorious views of the stratovolcano that is Sakurajima. This island is a must visit if youre in the area!

Sakurajima in all its glory!
This video is about how we got to Sakurajima and some of the things we saw in a brief 1 hour bus ride. We also walked along the Nagisa promenade, and soaked our feet in the foot bath, which has one of the most scenic views ever. I also show you the Sakurajima Dinosaur Park, the Nagisa trail, some of its ashes in Kagoshima-shi (where I currently live), the Yunohira observatory, the Arimura lookout point, the All-night concert monument, the ferry schedules, etc. Not in that order.
I definitely recommend anyone that comes to Kagoshima to visit the island which is not a full island anymore. It is more of a peninsula.
I hope that this video is somewhat helpful.

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

규슈 섬 남서쪽， 일본 열도의 최남단인 가고시마는 한겨울에도 기온이 섭씨 10도를 넘나들 정도로 따뜻한 곳이다． 나는 먼저 가고시마 시에서 여정을 시작했다． 가고시마 시 어디에서나 ‘사쿠라지마’ 산이 보인다． 이 산은 지금도 활발히 분화하는 활화산이다． 시내에서 배를 타고 긴코만 바다를 15분 정도 건너면 사쿠라지마 산에 갈 수 있다． 산 정상은 출입을 할 수가 없어 전망대에 올라가봤다． 이곳에서는 용암이 굳어 만들어진 신기한 모양의 바위를 많이 볼 수 있다． 물개처럼 생긴 것도 있고 스핑크스처럼 생긴 바위도 있는데 머리는 마치 원숭이를 닮았다． 사쿠라지마는 소규모 분화는 매일 거의 일어나고, 간혹 대규모 분화도 일어난다． 2013년 화산폭발 때는 화산재 연기가 5천 미터나 솟았다고 한다． 최근 몇 달간은 분화가 전혀 없었는데， 분화구에서 연기는 계속 나고 있었다． 사쿠라지마는 세계에서도 대표적으로 활발히 분화하는 활화산 중 하나이기도 하고 독특한 화산 지형을 볼 수 있어 화산 애호가들이 많이 찾는다. “우리는 화산을 여행합니다. 아이슬란드, 이탈리아, 에티오피아, 파타고니아의 화산에 갔었어요. 우리는 화산을 좋아합니다.” 100여 년 전인 1914년에 대규모 화산폭발이 있었다. 그때 분출된 화산재로 묻힌 신사 석조 문이 지금도 보존돼 있다. 당시 대분화로 화산재가 ７천 미터나 솟았고， 집들이 지붕만 남기고 화산재에 파묻혔다. 이 석조문은 2/3가 파묻혔는데， 쌓인 화산재의 높이가 무려 ２m라고 한다． “이곳은 원래 섬이었는데 당시 분화로 용암이 흘러내려 오스미 반도와 연결되었습니다. 그러니 상당히 큰 폭발이었죠．” 사쿠라지마 화산 주변에 사는 주민들에게 화산폭발은 익숙한 일상이다． 정상 근처의 마을에는 집집마다 화산폭발로 날아오는 돌을 피할 수 있는 대피소가 있다.

Kagoshima, the southernmost of Kyushu Island and the southernmost part of the Japanese archipelago, is warm enough to cover temperatures as high as 10 degrees Celsius in the middle of winter. I first started my journey in Kagoshima City. The mountains of Sakurajima can be seen everywhere in Kagoshima City. This mountain is still an active volcano. If you take a boat from the city and cross the Kinko Bay Sea for about 15 minutes, you can go to Mount Sakurajima. The top of the mountain went up to the observatory because it could not get in and out. Here, you can see many of the mysterious rocks made of hardened lava. Some are like seals, others are like sphinxes, and their heads are like monkeys. In Sakurajima, small-scale eruptions occur almost daily, and occasionally large-scale eruptions occur. When the volcano erupted in 2013, the smoke of the ash rose to 5,000 meters. There have been no eruptions in recent months, but the smoke continues to grow in the crater. Sakurajima is one of the active volcanoes that are actively erupting in the world, and you can see unique volcanic terrain, so many volcano lovers look for it. We travel on volcanoes. I went to volcanoes in Iceland, Italy, Ethiopia and Patagonia. We love volcanoes. There was a massive volcanic eruption in 1914, some 100 years ago. At that time, the shrine stone gate buried with eruptive volcanic ash is still preserved. At that time, the ash rose as high as 7,000 meters, and houses were buried in ash, leaving only the roof. This stonemason is buried 2/3, and the height of the accumulated ash is 2m. It was originally an island, but at that time the lava flowed through the eruption and connected with the Osumi Peninsula. So, it was a big explosion. Volcano eruption is a familiar routine for residents living around the volcano Sakurajima. In the village near the summit there is a shelter to avoid stones from volcanic eruptions.

Big eruption of volcano Sakurajima in Kagoshima, Japan (24th March 2015)
Sakurajima just erupted at noon.
Smoke of eruption are flowing southward.
How powerful the eruption is!
(Symbol of Kagoshima)
Sakurajima is the symbol of Kagoshima.
It erupts almost every day!
(Geography)
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.
It has an evelation of 1,117 meters and a circumference of about 50 kilometers.

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.
(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 fall on Kagoshima City and the sky was not visible for several days.

【002】Kagoshima Sakurajima
Subscribe link :
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.
Access information
In Sakurajima
Travelers visiting Sakurajima can find many attractions just around the Ferry Terminal, including an onsen, foot baths, short hiking trails and an information center. Those who would like to further explore the volcano should travel by rental car, which can be taken across the water from Kagoshima by the ferries. Sightseeing buses, regular buses and rental bicycles are other possible methods of travel.
The way up to Sakurajima
Kagoshima and Sakurajima are connected around the clock by frequent ferries. The one way ride takes 15 minute and costs 160 yen. The ferry terminal is a ten minute walk from JR Kagoshima Station or a five minute walk from the Suizokukan-guchi tram stop, and is also served by the City View Buses.
The way up to around Sakurajima
The easiest way to travel around Sakurajima is by rental car, which can be taken onto the ferry (1150 yen one way for 3-4 meter long cars; 1600 yen one way for 4-5 meter long cars). Driving once around the coast of Sakurajima takes about an hour. Many car rental outlets are found in the city center and at the airport.
There is some transportation for travelers who want to travel around Sakurajima, like a loop bus, the Sakurajima Island View Bus, that operates hourly from the ferry terminal to the Yunohira observation point and back. The fare depends on the distance traveled or is 500 yen for a 1-day pass. Instead,sightseeing bus tours are available for Sakurajima (3-4 hours, about 2500 yen) or in combination with Kagoshima (6 hours, about 4000 yen).
There are also regular city buses that run infrequently from the ferry terminal along the northern coast (departures every 1-3 hours) and along the southern coast (departures every 40-90 minutes) of Sakurajima.
