Large clouds of ash, and pyroclastic flows eminated out from the
volcano, and has reached the main island of Japan along the shores.

This eruption was unexpected, and has caused multiple evacuations
around the area erupting.

Clearly , this was a very large blast.

Kuchinoerabujima / Shindake is an island volcano located due South of
Kagoshima / Sakurajima.

Seeing eruptive activity at this location is no shock, but certainly is a sign of greater unrest in the area. We have seen multiple 4.0M+
to mid 5.0M+ earthquakes occur around this area for the past two
weeks.

Worthy to note, Mount Hakone (45 miles from Downtown Tokyo in South Japan) is showing signs of eruption after being silent for over 800
years.

Multiple volcanoes showing activity in Central / South Japan are a sign of building pressure in the region.

Japan volcano eruption triggers highest alert, evacuation advisory "A sudden volcano eruption on the small southern Japanese island of Kuchinoerabu-jima has forced authorities to raise the alert to the highest level and advise evacuation of the immediate area.

Although there were no reports of injuries or damage, the authorities are considering evacuation of some 150 residents of the small island, NHK national television reports.

Mount Shindake suddenly erupted about 10:00am local time, sending a large plume of black smoke into the sky. The Japan Meteorological Agency has issued a level five warning for the area, the highest on its scale, advising evacuations.

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the government was making its utmost efforts to gather information and secure the safety of residents, emphasizing there was no risk to human life, according to Reuters.

The remote island is located fairly far away from any heavily
populated urban areas and is located about 160km to the south of theSendai nuclear plant, on Japan's southernmost main island of Kyushu.

There were no reports of any irregularities at the plant following the
volcanic activity."
