The Day I saw a Volcano
... and arrived to the first stop in less than 10 minutes. Not that far away!
Nagisa joudan footbaths are public footbaths that provides a wonderful view of both the volcano and Kagoshima. I sit down in one, roll up my jeans and realize I hadn't shaved in ages. Scraping my throat, I look around, ashamed, then decide to pass up the look as the newest hot thing in Europe. I grab my phone, talk the two sentence of French I know every ...
Kirishima: Plan B it is
... as luck would have it, it was under renovation, so a quick loop, a quick prayer and a vending machine layover for water and I was done for the day. But not quite done because I had planned badly and was low on cash, and stubborn too, so I decided to brave the heatstroke and hike down the road back to the station, all 6 kilometers.

Instead, we availed ourselves of the shuttle back to the ferry terminal, and were on our way back to Kagoshima by 10:00. It ...
Walking, and then deciding that walking was bad!
We caught the ferry across to Mt. Sakurajima just before midday. Sakurajima is an active Stratovolcano that used to be an island before its lava flow (now cooled) connected it to the mainland in 1914.
The ferries are cheap, nice, and frequent, but when they drop you off the other side it can be a little difficult to get your bearings. It seems that most people come to Sakurajima with a car or on a guided tour so ...
