桜島（さくらじま）は、日本の九州南部、鹿児島県の鹿児島湾（錦江湾）にある東西約12km、南北約10km、周囲約55km、面積約77km2[1]の火山。かつては島であったが、1914年（大正3年）の噴火により、鹿児島市の対岸の大隅半島と陸続きとなった[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]。
The volcanic activity still continues, dropping large amounts of
volcanic ash on the surroundings. Earlier eruptions built the white sands highlands in the region. As of September 2015, the volcano is under a Level 3 (orange) alert by the
Japan Meteorological Agency, signifying the volcano is active and should not be approached.
[3] The most recent eruption started on February 5, 2016.
[4] On September 13, 2016 a team of experts from Bristol University and the Sakurajima Volcano Research Centre in Japan suggested that the volcano could have a major eruption within 30 years.

Sakurajima is a stratosphereic-volcano. Its
summit has three peaks,
Kita-dake (northern peak),
Naka-dake (central peak) and
Minami-dake (southern peak) which is active now.
Kita-dake is Sakurajima's highest peak, rising to 1,117 m (3,665 ft) above
sea level. The mountain is located in a part of Kagoshima Bay known as Kinkō-wan. The former island is part of the
city of
Kagoshima.
[6] The surface of this volcanic peninsula is about 77 km
2 (30 sq mi).
