We have just got back from a 4 day trip to Kyushuu. One of our purposes was to visit Mt Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan. Its peak is 1592 m above sea level. Since it is an active volcano, shelter dugouts are provided around the crater. We walked around the edge of the crater and got some great photographs of the sulphurous steam coming out of vents at the bottom. My dad told me we came here years ago, but I can not remember. The crater base used to have water in the middle, but now it's all dried out. There are a lot of cracks and some poeple say these and the lack of water suggest the volcano might erupt again soon...
