A Trip to Sakurajima (Kagoshima Travel Part 2)

Although I've visited Kagoshima several times, this was my first time going to Sakurajima. I had avoided it before because I didn’t want to be restricted by the ferry schedule, but to my surprise, there are plenty of ferry departures! 🫢
The waiting time wasn’t long, and the ferry fare can even be paid cashlessly. Onboard, there was even a udon shop.

On the top deck, feeling the breeze and imagining myself in a Titanic-like moment, we arrived in no time 🏝️.

I enjoyed a free foot bath 🦵, bought some souvenirs like postcards and magnets, and then took the ferry back.

The foot bath helped relieve the fatigue from traveling, and I was practically skipping down the steps when disembarking 👣.

⛴️ Price per person: ¥250 one way
