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.

Welcome to our small but quite informative volcanic museum! Sakurajima Visitor Center is a great place to learn how this volcano is like, which has exhibitions, movies, and nice staffs. Our museum shop deals with lots of fancy goods, including camelia oil, volcanic-ash-colored ice cream and other typical items. The center also has good access to the hot spring for foot and the pedestrian path on the real lava field. It opens all year around, 9am-5pm, and admission is free. Please come and see here, as a kick-off for your great Sakurajima trip!

I arrived at the visitor centre before 9am but it wasn’t open yet, so I went for a dip in the free foot onsen nearby before coming back here again. Was pleasantly surprised by the small museum in the visitor centre, especially the real-time camera footage and status of the island’s active volcano Sakurajima. There were also many interactive displays that teach about volcanoes and stuff so kids would love it here. The staff in the visitor centre was very friendly too, even though they don’t speak much English.
