In a nutshell

You'll feel like a real artist of chaos, and sure, you'll get a little dirty, but the satisfaction will be enormous! And then for a typical lunch from the heart of Kagoshima.

The programme

We'll start with a bang: visit the Shiroyama Park observatory, where you'll be left speechless by the panoramic views over Kagoshima, the bay of Kinko and the sacred monster of Sakurajima. Forget postcards, this will really make you say wow! But there's no time to waste: hop on board the ferry bound for Sakurajima, a spectacular volcanic island.

And here comes the key moment: art made from volcanic ash. It's not a metaphor: you'll create a unique work of art using real volcanic ash. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

But that’s not all: stop off at the Sakurajima Visitor Center, Sakurajima Yogan Nagisa Park and the Arimura Lava Observatory, where the power of the volcano is tangible all around you. And then a typical Kagoshima-style lunch awaits you.
