Aso-Kujū National Park

This national park consists of Mt. Aso, the world’s largest caldera, and the volcanic cluster including Kuju Mounatin Range, etc. There are many famous mountains within the park including the five peaks of Mt. Aso (the highest one is Mr. Takadake), and many people, especially climbers, visit the park. Mt. Tsurumi and Mt. Yufudake, located in the north, are known as scenic landmarks, especially during autumn when the mountain foliage turns deep red, orange and yellow dyed and is worth seeing. There are visitor centers in two places, South Aso and Chojabaru, exhibiting materials related to nature and culture. They also hold events and provide multilingual pamphlets.
