Nakadake Crater, Mount Aso (Currently Closed)

Nakadake, a 1,506-meter peak in the center of Mount Aso, is still volcanically active, offering close-up views of smoke billowing vigorously from its crater. Of Nakadake’s seven adjoining craters, Crater No. 1 is currently active and visible, and visitors can approach the edge of this massive crater, which measures approximately 4 km in circumference. When the volcanic gases clear, an emerald-green crater lake can sometimes be seen at the bottom. Its highly acidic water reaches temperatures of 50-60°C.
