We are a travel agency in Fukuoka specializing in Kyushu, Japan.
This information is provided by Japan KYUSHU Tourist to support your journey.
Aso is located almost in the center of Kyushu and boasts one of the world’s largest
calderas, stretching 18 km east-west and 24 km north-south. It was created by four
periods of explosive volcanic activity in ancient times. The caldera is surrounded by
an outer rim with a circumference of around 120 km. Within the Aso Caldera, there
are the Aso Five Peaks, including Mt. Naka-dake—an active volcano where the
crater can be viewed from the top. Daikanbo Peak, on the northern part of the
outer rim, is a must-visit location offering panoramic views of the magnificent
scenery, including the Aso Five Peaks and the serene, beautiful green plains below.
