My favorite scene of SAKURAJIMA


Sakurajima is an active volcano, and one of the symbols of Kagoshima. 

Kagoshima people love Sakurajima even if its ash bothers us with even taking looooong time to clean up,
we still <3 it
We got on the tour bus named Kagoshima City View with my camera.
Actually it was my first time to ride it.
I was getting to so excited just like I was one of the REAL tourists.


The inside of the Kagoshima City View is retro as well as its appearance.

Isn’t it so cool?

Our destination is Shiroyama Observation Point.
Shiroyama is very important place in history as this area was once the battle field of Seinan War.

Also please keep in mind that Sakurajima seen from there is said to be the most beautiful one!


This is it!!!
                  

After that, we went to the waterfront zone, Dolphin Port.
You can see the beautiful Sakurajima as well. It looks closer.


Can you see the ferry on the left of the picture?

It takes only 15 minutes by ferry from here to Sakurajima.


 

p.s.
These are FREE GIFT from Sakurajima.

It is one of the unique and interesting cultures of Kagoshima. People gather up and store the fall ash.
The track comes to collect these yellow plastic bags a couple of days after Sakurajima erupted.


Awwww this is what we get annoyed…:P
