This active volcano, Sakurajima, is a part of Kagoshima City. There are approximately 600,000 citizens living at the foot of Sakurajima and its opposite shore in Kagoshima city. The area has been working on volcanic disaster prevention measures from both the tangible and intangible aspects and has made efforts to improve them through various trial and error processes.
As a result, our city's efforts in volcanic disaster prevention are effective measures supported by our long years of experience and achievements.
