Mount Aso (阿蘇山, Asosan) is an active volcano in the center of Kyushu which most recently erupted in October 2016 but has since calmed down again. Aso's ancient caldera ranks among the world's largest, with a diameter of up to 25 kilometers and a circumference of over 100 kilometers. In the center of the caldera stand the mountain's active volcanic peaks, including Mount Nakadake, shown in this photo.

Due to increased volcanic activity at the time of our visit, a no-entry zone was currently maintained and resulted in the closure of the ropeway, road and hiking trails to the crater. Still, from a distance, we were able to witness this rare display of nature's power.

Top Aso Hotel Reviews

THE BLOSSOM KUMAMOTO

10/10 Excellent

"A premier hotel right at the Kumamoto Station. I have stayed here many times, and enjoyed it very much each time. It's a ways from the other bustling areas, but the tram is very convenient. The station complex and the shopping center where the hotel is located are themselves self-sufficient."
