A Stunning Volcano Close Up & Akita Dogs

Located on the Ring of Fire, Japan is perfect for volcano sightseeing. Our reporter goes to Sakurajima, Kagoshima Pref., where plumes of smoke emit from the volcano every day. He experiences life on a volcanic island through a sea kayak tour, underwater hot springs and volcanic ash art. The island is also home to the world's largest radish. And, our correspondent in Odate, Akita Pref., introduces us to the local loveable breed of Akita dogs, and where you can pet them and enjoy their company.
