Located off the shore of Kagoshima City, the volcanic island of Sakurajima is a popular tourist destination full of unique scenery. Its coastline offers a two-mile-long walking trail that gives visitors a glimpse of the island’s lava fields, formed by the 1914 eruption of Sakurajima.

Ahead of this promenade is Akamizu Observation Square, a public park with a grand view of Kagoshima Bay and a bizarre sculpture made out of volcanic rock. Created by artist Hiroshi Onari and titled Portrait of a Shout, the sculpture depicts a man screaming towards the sky among guitars jutting out of rocks. It measures up to 3.4 meters (11 feet) in height and weighs over 38 tons.

This unusual sculpture is a commemoration of an all-night concert held by Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi, one of the most famous singer-songwriters in the Japanese music industry, on the spot in 2004. Considered something of a legend, the event was attended by 75,000 fans and the folk rock musician's songs reportedly could even be heard on the mainland Kagoshima side.
