JAPAN'S weather agency said on Sunday that Mount Sakurajima in southwest Japan erupted four times in small scale in the early hours of the day, according to local reports.

The Japan Meteorological Agency, however, said that there was no major change in volcanic activity at the volcano in Kagoshima Prefecture.

The local government lifted an evacuation advisory around the area on Saturday after a panel assessed that the risk of an eruption seemed to be diminishing, said Japan's Kyodo News.

Eruption alert for the volcano remained at level 4, meaning nearby residents to stay ready to evacuate.

The warning level was raised from three on Aug. 15.
