First stop when I visited the Kagoshima region in Japan, was to go see the very active Sakurajima volcano. It’s spectacular and visible from very far away and as you get closer it gets easier to see just how active it is. There are attractions surround the mountains, with hotspring, observation points, walking paths, and lots of local food options. I especially liked the paths and observation decks, not only for views of the volcano, but that entire region from those deck is absolutely breath-taking.
