    Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture Aso Mountain, Kurokawa
    A natural landscape located in Aso City. At the site of an ancient caldera situated southeast of the Nakadake Crater on Mt. Aso, visitors can take in scenery consisting of a continuous stretch of black sands. The site serves as a contrast to the picturesque grassland known as Kusasenrigahama, also on Mt. Aso. Access may be restricted at times due to volcanic gasses emitted by Mt. Aso.

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
