Sakura-jima Island
Sakurajima Island is the symbol of Kagoshima. The smoke and steam rises almost every
day from the active volcano Minamidake. Formerly an island, it became connected with
the Osumi Peninsula in 1914 when lava from its summit closed the channel between
the two. Observation points on the island can be accessed by ferry.
