Aso-san, the symbol of Kumamoto Prefecture, is the largest compound volcano in Japan, situated in the central part of Aso Kuju National Park. The central cone group consists of five peaks, the highest 1592-meter Taka-dake, still active – – Naka-dake, Neko-dake, Eboshi-dake, and Kishima-dake. This mountain boasts arguably the largest caldera in the world, extending 25 kilometers in the north-south direction and 18 kilometers in the east-west direction.

It's too smoky during my visit so don"t get to see the blue water, it's took us only 30 mins to drive up from the Aso station.

Mt. Kishima

Reviewed By migachan - Vancouver, Canada

The smallest and the one of the closest volcanoes near Kusasenri, you can hike up there within an hour. There are stairs going up to the top and there is probably a nice view but while I was there, it was snowing heavily and must excerise lots of caution, especially coming down. Still quite interesting. However, it is the most ideal first hike :)
