Overview
Sakurajima is an active volcano that continues to emit smoke, located about 10 kilometers across the sea from the Kagoshima city area. As its name suggests, Sakurajima was originally an island but became connected to the mainland of Kyushu due to an eruption that occurred approximately 110 years ago. Why not seize the opportunity to feel the earth's vibrant energy through a sea kayaking experience here?
As you paddle your kayak while enjoying the active volcano, you will land on a rugged lava beach formed 110 years ago. There, indulge in making rice balls with ingredients produced in Sakurajima and savor traditional Kagoshima sweets and tea. This is your chance to experience Sakurajima with your hands, eyes, skin, and taste - a multisensory adventure like no other!

What To Expect
Sakurajima, nestled within the Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park and designated as the Sakurajima Kinkowan Geopark, is an extraordinary sight. The rare spectacle of people living near such an active volcano is indeed unique. This experience includes "Gastronomy Sakurajima," where you can enjoy ingredients nurtured by the blessings of this active volcano.
Participants will have the opportunity to make rice balls using local ingredients such as the world's largest radish "Sakurajima Daikon," the world's smallest mandarin oranges "Sakurajima Komikan," and hijiki seaweed cultivated in the mineral-rich seas of Sakurajima. The tour also includes a kayak experience with a picnic, where you can relish traditional Kagoshima sweets and tea. This unique blend of agriculture and culinary delights, only possible on an active volcanic island, can be enjoyed alongside marine activities.
Please note that the time spent on the beach will be slightly longer than the time kayaking on the sea.
