Delicious bún chả giò from “Miss Saigon”, Kokubu’s (and maybe Kagoshima’s) best Vietnamese restaurant. The name does not do the place justice. Super fresh. Highly recommended.

Spent the rest of the day in Kirishima at Miyuki’s grandma’s house, which is 8km away from Shinmoedake. It is nearly impossible to get close at this point, with a 4KM exclusion zone blocking all main roads from the Kagoshima side. Shot a lot on film today, but here a few quick shots.
