IBUSUKI –
KAGOSHIMA – HANEDA
This morning, we will head to Kagoshima
Sakurajima island. Here the Sakurajima mountain
is symbol of Kagoshima, located in the sea, about
four kilometers from the center of the city. It
has been the site of repeated big eruptions
throughout history, and is one of the most famous
active volcanoes in the world. Sakura-jima island
had originally been an isolated island, but the
big eruption in 1914 caused the island to shift to
a location adjacent to the Osumi-hanto Peninsula.
Lava fields are spotted here and there on the island,
testifying to the history of its violent eruptions.
In Sakura-jima island you will also visit the Lava road.
One can get a nice sense of the history and feel of the
island with a stroll along the footpaths that wind through
the desolate lava plains of Sakurajima. There are small
shrines and several lava formations to explore. Thereafter,
proceed to Kagoshima city to do some shopping. You will shop
in the largest shopping district the Tenmon-kan district
which include Tenmonkan Dori and Tenjin Pira Mall.
Thereafter transfer to domestic airport for your flight to
Haneda(Tokyo).
