Everything you need to know about this live stream
An Ever-Active Stratovolcano
Sakurajima is one of the world's most closely watched volcanoes, venting gas and ash plumes from its summit craters in near-constant activity. Once an island, it has been joined to the Osumi Peninsula since its great 1914 eruption.
The View from Tarumizu
From the shore of Tarumizu the camera frames the volcano across Kinko Bay, with green foreground ridges and the broad volcanic cone filling the horizon — a classic southern Kyushu panorama.
A Living Geological Landmark
Surrounded by hot springs and lava fields, Sakurajima is a centerpiece of the Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park and a defining feature of the Kagoshima landscape.
Why Watch This Volcano Cam
