The fault in the article produce a big earthquake every 400 years, so you have a 1/5 chance of seeing one.

Yellowstone has a big eruption every 600000 years so you are probably not going to see the next one. (But the destruction will be much bigger.)

Also Naples, IT, also sits atop a “supervolcano”[1]. It’s one whose volcanoes have erupted rather recently.

I recommend moving to Kagoshima - they have an activo volcano right over the bay (with fregvent ferry service, no less) that regurarly covers the 400k people city in ash.

A honest in your face continuous natural disaster, no behind the scenes shaddy stuff that might hut you one day out of the blue. ;-)

I can appreciate that about a natural disaster. Or one could move to Australia which in general doesn't really try to hide the fact it's constantly trying to kill you.

It’s the dirtiest city in Japan that I’ve been too, purely down to the light coating of volcanic ash every building, road and public bench seems to have. Very friendly though and the best butasando.

Exactly! First you notice its a bit dusty everywhere, then that places that are not regularly swept seem to accumulate dirt a lot faster than normal - ant then you put one and the huge volcano next door together and bam! :-D

Nice touch how the city runs ash collection points or how people living on Sakurajima itself (the volcano) cope with it. They have roofs over gravestones, transparent tents over fruit tree plantations & ash sweeping equipment on every bus stop. Oh and those flying rock shelters every ~600 meters. :)

I felt sorry for the poor school kids that had yellow safety helmets instead of the usual yellow bucket hats.

Butasando looks like some kind of food but it doesn't seem to be well know, this discussion already seems to be on third place on Google for the word.

Ah, sorry, pork katsu sandwiches. I’d recommend this place in particular: https://gurunavi.com/en/fb5k900/rst/?
