A large-scale eruption occurred at Sakurajima from June 6th to 8th, 2026.

While swelling of the mountain had been observed since around May, I conducted my first drone aerial photography of the year, capturing the latest conditions at the Minamidake and Showa craters.

Upon reviewing the footage, I found that the shape of the craters and the surrounding topography had changed significantly since last year's filming, giving me a renewed sense of the scale of the eruption.

Please watch until the end if you are interested in disaster prevention or volcanic activity.

*Safety is the top priority, and filming was conducted in compliance with relevant laws and flight rules.
