Climb aboard the Sakurajima Ferry for the 13 minute ride between the ports of Kagoshima and Sakurajima. Although the scenery of Kinko Bay is delightful along the way, the visual highlight is Mount Sakurajima. This majestic stratovolcano has an elevation of 3,665 feet. Sakurajima most dramatic eruption was in 1914 although it regularly belches smoke and ash. Then stay awhile to observe the active craters, visit Shizenkyoryu Park (all about dinosaurs) and experience the au naturel hot spring baths at Magma Onsen.
