About Kagoshima
Kagoshima, in southern Kyushu, faces the smoking volcano of Sakurajima across a bay, with a samurai past, hot springs and sweet-potato spirits.
Kagoshima stands on a bay in southern Kyushu, with the active volcano Sakurajima rising from the water just across from the city. A short ferry ride crosses the bay, and a lava flow in the 1914 eruption joined the former island to the mainland. Ash sometimes drifts over the city, which has long been used to it.
