explanation: Volcanic island located at the center of Kagoshima bay in south Kyushu. The explosion of 1914 has attached Sakurajima to Kyushu island by pouring eastward a great quantity of lava. The summit is split to 3 peaks: Ontake (northern peak, 1117m), Nakadake (middle peak, 1060m) et Minamidake (southern peak, 1040m) which is now active. With Mt Kirishima and Yaku island, it belongs to Kirishima Yaku national park. There exists a ferry service from Kagoshima city.
