Sakurajima Visitor Center is right next to the Sakurajima ferry terminal, a small museum where you can learn about Sakurajima.

桜島ビジターセンター

If you love Sakurajima and want more information on the volcano and the surrounding area, you must go to the visitor center! There is a great little museum there that is fun for all ages. There is also a gift shop where you can buy books about the volcano, as well as other novelty items and snacks. The foot bath across the street is really a great way to regain the energy to walk more of the trails or hop on the tour bus and go up the mountain.

Nice place to start the Lava trail. When you come back, you can soak your feet in the onsen with great views

So the visitor centre is worth the visit for the information but $8.80 for a pin badge was outrageous. So they lost a star for that one.
The information centre is also free.

The volunteer staff here are very nice. There's lots of great information here aboit past eruptions. The short movie in the theater  is subtitled in English and worth a watch to understand how the surrounding area lives with an active volcano.

Lovely introduction to the volcano and it's history. And the park has two cute cats
