Tourism EXPO Japan 2025 Aichi/Central Japan
Aso-Kuju National Park
Scent of Grasslands, Breathing of Volcanoes, Wind that frolic across the Majestic Landscape
The main characteristics of the park include a huge caldera encompassing the five peaks of Mount Aso, along with the Kuju Mountain Range located to the north, and magnificent and gentle grasslands surrounding them.
In the southern part of the park, visitors can admire a series of breathtaking scenery, including the fuming crater of Mount Nakadake, the beautiful cone of Komezuka, the vast grassland of Kusasenri Ga Hama, as well as the caldera in which they are situated.
Around the Kuju Mountain Range, visitors can witness vents emitting sulfurous gases, steam, and hot vapors, as well as a unique volcanic landscape. There are numerous highlights, including the vast grasslands of the Kuju and Handa plateaus, as well as the academically valuable wetlands of Tadewara Marsh and Bogatsuru Marsh. In the northern part of the park, the beautiful shapes of Mount Tsurumi and Mount Yufudake, the sources of hot springs in Beppu and Yufuin, can be appreciated. From the mountain ridges, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view stretching from Beppu Bay to the Yufuin Basin and the Kuju Mountain Range.
Mount Aso has one of the world's largest calderas, measuring approximately 25 kilometers from north to south and 18 kilometers from east to west.
The central volcanic cone group, known as Aso Gogaku or the five peaks of Mount Aso, includes Mount Takadake as its highest point, reaching a height of 1,592 meters.The landscape near the crater of Mount Nakadake, one of the most active volcanoes in Japan, is rugged; as you move away from the crater rim, the terrain transforms into grasslands with abundant plants, creating a more serene scene.
Activities: electronic mountain biking, horseback riding, trail walking in grassland, hot air ballon, paragliding, helicopter tour and trekking around Aso mountain and Kuju range.
Designation: December 4, 1934
Area:73,017 hectares
