A Few From Kagoshima

Just a few images from our recent trip to Kagoshima Japan including Sakurajima, and active volcano that erupts an average of 3 times a day, our apartment in Kagoshima City, the Observatory high above the city, the view of Sakurajima from Play Mountain and Good Neighbors along with an exhibition by Akio Nakuga, and a climbing kiln from a 400 year old pottery.
