Sakurajima Special (5 days)

Day 1: Arrival Kagoshima
Pick-up at Kagoshima airport or in Kagoshima town. Transfer to hotel at the base of Sakurajima volcano.
Group dinner and optional night-time volcano observation.
Day 2-4: 3 full days at Sakurajima volcano
Multiple full days and nights for volcano observation, visiting multiple points from various angles. We'll have a car available for individual transfers at (almost) any time - for instance, if a part of the group wants to go back to the hotel while others want to stay longer etc.
During the day, we also have time to visit geologic-interest sites, the city and nearby attractions.
Generally, lunch is included as a proper (Japanese meal) in restaurants or at the hotel. Dinner is improvised as a group (take-away food), because typical dinner times coincide with the best times for photography.
Day 5: Departure or own extension
Transfer to Kagoshima airport / Kagoshima City center, end of tour or own extension.

Arrival info:

The tour starts and ends in Kagoshima airport (KOJ) or at the high-speed train station in Kagoshima Chuo, where we can arrange pick-up / drop-off on the first day. In most cases, you will fly into Fukuoka, Osaka or one of Tokyo's airports and then take a domestic connection flight. Kagoshima can also be easily reached by the Shinkansen train. If you plan to combine the tour with an extended visit to Japan, the Japan Rail Pass could be interesting for you.
