There was a small building in the viewpoint, which allowed a better view from the staircase and upper floor. The volcano was very clear. Carpark was free.

Come for the view but stay and be enchanted by the well looked after and friendly nekos. I had some cat treats in the car and as soon as I started walking towards them, about 4 cats got so excited they started to swarm around my legs

Supposed to be best spot to see Sakurajima volcano. Don't put your expectation too high. If you are lucky, you get to see the cloud of smoke from volcano. That is about it,!! Still beautiful view not to mention .. Overall, very peaceful island (despite active volcano!!), get the local bus pass, stop wherever you feel like and walk!!

You can get here by the tour bus, which stops and waits for 20 minutes. Meanwhile people who were in the observation point are also boarding so it can get a bit crowded. The day was clear and the view was very good, but not so exciting for the most active volcano in Japan. The observation point is very far and you cannot see the crater, like in mount Aso.

Great views, plus you can ride the sightseeing bus here! Short ride too. Only takes 15 or 20 mins to look around once your here really. It's quick. The giftshop is nice too! Bathrooms are here but I didn't use them... they looked dirty and cold.
