JAPAN 2 Sakurajima


	The most watched Volcano in Japan is probably Sakurajima, which has been erupting continuously since the 1950s Therefore it will get its own page here. See short Reports of latest Eruptions (translated by Google, times are often shown garbled). If you click on the sun button on top of a webcam a clear weather image from that webcam will pop up to help you picture the lay of the land when the mountain is shrouded in dark clouds for days or weeks! Here is a translated list for the 56 webcams on the JMA website On this site you can specify a volcano, date and time to view Waveform Images (in the first bar of the form you can choose second option for other volcanoes).
