This is Sakura-jima, an active volcano off the southern tip of Kyushu near the town of Kagoshima.
Part of the cone was blown off during one of its frequent eruptions a few years back. That’s why it doesn’t look as conical as Fuji-san.
Unfortunately, this is as close as we were able to get to it since we only had a few hours in town.
Since it’s still an active volcano (note the smoke above), there are concrete shelters all over. If you hear the sirens, you duck into here.
Does concrete stand up to lava?
