Hello everyone
We went to the sakurajima island (桜島) to view the active volcano today. Sakurajima volcano has three peaks, Kitadake (northern peak), Nakadake (central peak) and Minamidake (southern peak) which is still active. The eruption in 11 January 1914 has been the most powerful in the Japanese twentieth century, and during the eruption lava flows filled in the narrow strait between the island and the mainland, converting it into a peninsula. Before 1914, the volcano had been dormant for over a century.
We visited the visitors center first and after which we headed to the ferry which toured us around the island to view the active volcano . The scenery there was beautiful and with the sea breeze, it was truly a great experience ! haha! We really enjoyed the whole ferry trip thoroughly.
After the visit, we headed for lunch and outside the restaurant, there's a Ferris wheel with water spinning around and not forgetting there's was a statue which signified "GOOD LUCK" !
We had Ebi Udon for lunch.
After that headed to the bullet train ride !
Though it was just a short ten minutes ride , but it was a great experience !
And I will be at host family house staying for two days !
see you in two days time !
