Tourist information only

About 15 minutes by ferry from downtown Kagoshima, Sakurajima is still an active volcano that erupts volcanic ash.
It became an island about 26,000 years ago, and 17 large eruptions have been confirmed.
The latest major eruption was in 1914, and a large amount of lava flowed out and connected to the Osumi Peninsula.
Currently it is not possible to climb Sakurajima.
The highest point that general tourists can enter is the 373m observation deck at the 4th station of Kitadake.
Delicious agricultural products such as Sakurajima radish and Sakurajima mandarin oranges, abundant hot springs that heal daily fatigue, and beautiful scenery of mountains and villages can be called the bounty of the volcano.
When you come to Sakurajima, please visit Sakurajima Visitor Center first.
