We drove up to the 5th station parking lot and started climbing. The trail is well maintained and easy to walk. We stayed overnight at a mountain hut on the 8th station, then woke up early to reach the 3,776-meter summit for sunrise. It was a wonderful and rare experience.

People here literally live their everyday lives watching a volcano. The mental toughness of folks in Kagoshima is really something.
The moment Sakurajima starts smoking, the whole city’s vibe turns into this mix of “tense, but somehow totally routine.” -

Niizaki Shrine faces the ocean, and the scenery here is absolutely stunning and peaceful. It's a sacred place where locals pray for safety. The torii gate with the sea in the background makes for some amazing photos. Walking around here is super relaxing.

There are tons of brands here—GUCCI, COACH, NIKE, BEAMS, you name it. I shopped till I dropped!
