The Sakurajima volcano, located on the Japanese island of Kyushu, in the southwest of the country, erupted on Friday. Smoke rose some 3,200 meters from the crater and ash was scattered within a radius of one kilometer.

It's weird to think of Kyushu as an island. It's not wrong but it's weird cause it's a pretty significant portion of Japan (also an island)
