• Gear up for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the surreal and picture-perfect iconic site of Sakurajima. With only about 1500 active volcanoes worldwide, the opportunity to seize the moment with one of the world’s greatest active volcanoes dropping large amounts of volcanic ash on its surroundings is more than astounding. Sakurajima has its highest peak at 3,665ft above sea level and floats only 2.5 miles from Kagoshima. It’s a captivating sight!
