Full description

This is a tour of Sakurajima, one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

Riding the Sakurajima Ferry, we approach the majestic Sakurajima.

Learn about the active volcano Sakurajima, then climb up to the observation deck to experience the living earth. You will have a thrilling and valuable experience.

After that, go to the coast where hot springs gush out. Enjoy soaking your feet in the hot springs you created yourself.

This area is also famous for amberjack aquaculture. I highly recommend the fresh amberjack dishes.
