Minamiaso

Minamiaso combines broad caldera-floor farmland with volcanic slopes in a way that reflects its position within the vast Aso caldera of central Kyushu. The village lies beneath the Aso Five Peaks, with the Shirakawa River running through an area known for fields, woodland and abundant spring water. Its setting forms part of Aso-Kuju National Park, where the scale of Japan’s largest active volcanic caldera is especially apparent. The Minami Aso Railway is an important local landmark, linking communities across the southern side of the caldera; full service resumed in 2023 after damage from the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes.
