It's Japan's most active volcano and is constantly spitting out smoke and ash. I got there cheaply and easily by taking a tram and ferry. The ferry costs just 250 Yen each way, about $1.70 USD, and one leaves every 15 minutes. Really convenient. At the Sakurajima visitor centre they have some footbaths set up so you can enjoy soaking your legs in the mineral-rich hot spring water. It was a nice experience but I probably would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't already boiling hot outside of the water. I visited Sakurajima on one of the hottest days of the year. Somehow I thought it would be a great idea to rent a bicycle and cycle the loop of the volcanic island, despite the extreme weather. Thankfully there were plenty of vending machines on the route and I pretty much stopped at every one to quench my thirst. The most interesting thing to see on the Sakurajima loop is the Tori Gate that's buried under lava from the massive 1924 eruption. The entire village in that area was buried and the Tori Gate (the entrance to a shrine) is left there as a reminder of what can happen. 0:00 Intro 1:24 Ferry to Sakurajima 5:21 Arriving in Sakurajima 7:23 Hot Spring Footbath 9:55 Bicycle Rental 17:45 Uphill Torture 21:22 Downhill Relief 35:20 Lava Covered Tori Gate 46:53 Matcha Soft Cream 57:07 Portrait of a Shout 1:02:32 Fruit Ice Cream 1:08:21 Japanese Omelet Sandwich 1:13:09 McDonalds Samurai Burger 💗 Help the channel grow by liking, commenting and subscribing.
