Things to do in Kagoshima, Kyushu-Okinawa: The Best Sacred & Religious Sites
Take a quick ferry ride to Mount Sakurajima, a smoldering volcano, Or, if you prefer to view active volcanoes from a more comfortable distance, stop at one of the many lookout points around the city. (Siroyama Observatory is a good choice.) Finally, if there’s anything better than a foot bath after a long day of sightseeing, it’s a free foot bath after a long day of sightseeing… and you can enjoy one at Sakurajima Nagisa Foot Bath Park.

I found this site fascinating. I rode my bike around Sakurajima and the buried gate was the first place I stopped at. There is a parking area with restrooms across from the shrine. The shrine is located on a small path near the school. I find it so fascinating that the shrine was 3m in height and 2m of it was buried. It is a powerful reminder of the effects of a major eruption and how it can wipe out entire villages. I find in neat they decided to keep the gate as is as a reminder. Very cool site well worth visiting.
