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!

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.

옛날 천문관측소가 있었던 이곳은 남큐슈에서 가장 번화한 쇼핑가다. 텐몬칸 거리의 한 모퉁이에 있는 가게에 눈길이 닿았다. 이곳은 시로쿠마라는 아이스크림가겐데 줄을 서서 차례를 기다려야 할 만큼 인기 만점의 가고시마 대표 특산품중의 하나라고 한다. 모양이 백곰을 닮았다고 해서 시로쿠마라고 불리는 이 아이스크림은 종류만 해도 수십 가지에 달한다. 얼핏 보면 여느 아이스크림과 다를 것이 없어 보이지만, 50년째 전해 내려오는 이 가게만의 비법이 우유와 꿀이 맛의 비결이라고 한다. “이 지역에서도 정말 유명해서 가고시마에서 빙수가게라고 하면 틀림없이 시로쿠마다. 매년 찾아온다. 전국 각지로 보낼 수도 있다. 방금 택배 접수하고 온 것이다.” 아이스크림가게 하나로 전국적으로 평판을 얻고 있다니 신기했다.

Japan Kagoshima Trip (鹿児島の旅) 2013 Part II - City Walk
In this episode:
- walking through the Kagoshima famous Tennonkan arcade (天文館アーケード). It is the busiest part of the city - full with shops and restaurants. Tenmonkan means observatory - once upon a time there was such in the center of the city.
Also we tried the famous Kagoshima ramen (鹿児島ラーメン) and kurobuta gyoza (黒豚餃子). Kagoshima ramen is very different in taste from the rest of the Japanese ramens but it is delicious - may be one of the best!
It was also very interesting to find bags with volcanic trash in the center of the city. Despite the big cleaning the remnants of the big eruption from 18/8 were still ubiquitous!
We also saw the statue of a famous samurai and his wife (Kagoshima was the place of the last Samurai's rebellion).
Finally we reached the Kagoshima Water Front and the kids had a lot of fun with the fountains! :) Follow us on twitter:
