Itinerary

  • Mt. Aso Nakadake Crater

    Aso Volcano, located on Kyushu Island in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, is one of the world's most active volcanoes, featuring a vast caldera with a circumference of about 120 kilometers, formed by four major eruptions between 300,000 and 90,000 years ago. The Nakadake Crater within this caldera is the most active part, known for its constantly boiling acid lake and frequent sulfurous emissions. This crater is a significant tourist attraction, with visitors often able to observe its activity from the crater rim, although access is restricted during periods of heightened volcanic activity for safety reasons. The region surrounding Aso Volcano boasts a unique landscape shaped by volcanic activity, including hot springs and fertile plains. The Aso Volcano Museum nearby offers educational exhibits about the volcano's geology and history. Given the continuous activity of Nakadake Crater, ongoing monitoring and adherence to safety guidelines are crucial for visitors.
