The Smoking Island, Sakurajima
Sakurajima, Japan’s most active volcano, offers a unique experience for nature enthusiasts. The volcano emits smoke and ash daily, creating a dramatic yet mesmerizing scene. Located in Kagoshima Prefecture, it’s a short ferry ride from the city, making it accessible for both day trips and extended stays.
Visitors can enjoy hot springs with views of the volcano, taste delicious local cuisine like “Kurobuta” pork, and even try Sakurajima daikon, one of the world’s largest radishes.
💡 Bonus: Did you know? Kagoshima is also famous for its shochu (Japanese distilled liquor). It’s a perfect way to toast your volcanic adventure!
