Greetings from Aso-Kuju National Park!

People had been longing for this news.

                      (Above photo taken on 26th April 2018)

Aso Nakadake Crater, which had been shut following the eruption in August 2014, is now finally re-open!!! However due to the gas emission, thick fog and volcanic tremors, the crater can be still closed from time to time, so please do check if it is open before you go.
