14 December: Sakura-jima 樱岛 (Ibusuki 指宿, Kagoshima 鹿儿岛)

Heading to board the ferry to go Sakura-jima:


This is an active volcano that 'erupts' many times within a day. We could see the emission of the fumes (ashes?) from that tiny little mouth (from far). It's not that easy to differentiate what's cloud, and what's the volcano fumes.





Amazing, it was an island that joined with the mainland after the eruption in 1914.


At the foot of the volcano is where people took advantage of the heated spring water for the foot bath.
