Visiting Sakurajima Island and Sengan-en Garden in Kagoshima is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and historical elegance. Witness the awe-inspiring Sakurajima volcano, then stroll through the meticulously landscaped Sengan-en Garden, offering a captivating juxtaposition of dynamic volcanic landscapes and serene traditional Japanese aesthetics.
Board a coach at Kagoshima Pier for the drive to the Kagoshima ferry terminal. From here, it’s a 15-minute ferry ride to Sakurajima Island. From an observation point, you will view Mt. Sakurajima — a moderately active volcano that rises magnificently above Kinko Bay. Mt. Sakurajima faces Kagoshima and constantly emits smoke, sometimes to a height of several thousand feet. This symbol of Kagoshima is the site of repeated eruptions throughout history.
Take the ferry back to Kagoshima, where you will visit Sengan-en Garden — a beautiful Japanese landscape with Sakurajima and Kinko Bay harmoniously forming its beautiful backdrop.
