While Mount Shindake on Kuchinoerabu-jima is the latest volcano to capture the imagination of people around the world, the nearby city of Kagoshima on the southwestern end of the island of Kyushu has had to deal with frequent eruptions from Sakurajima, a nearby resident volcano whose shape dominates the skyline of the city.
Kuchinoerabu-jima adasındaki Shindake Dağı Dünya çapında son zamanlarda en büyük ilginin gösterildiği yanardağ iken, Kyushu adasının güneybatı ucunda bulunan şehir Kagoshima da şehri örten yanardağ Sakurajima'nın patlamalarına maruz kalıyor.
