Mount Aso

Mount Aso (: Aso-san) is the largest active volcano in Japan, and is among the largest in the world. It stands in Kumamoto Prefecture, on the island of Kyushu. Its peak is 1592 m above sea level. Its caldera is 25 km across north to south and 18 km across east to west. The caldera has a circumference of around 120 km (75 miles), although sources vary on the exact distance.

  • Aso Osaru-no Sato Saru-mawashi, 793 Shimono, +81 967 351341. This theater has man and a monkey stage shows.
  • Aso-san. The volcano is still active and sulphuric steam can be seen coming from the Mt. Nakadake crater. However, you should be aware, that the summit of the crater has been extensively geared for Japanese mass tourism - paved roads can take you right up to the crater and it can get quite crowded during the peak season. However, if you want to get away from the crowds, you don't have to walk too far.


If you have extra cash to spare or you want to have an aerial view of Mount Aso, you can take the helicopter ride, which is not far from the Mount Aso Museum. It cost ¥5000 per person for a 4 mins ride but the view is astounishing!
