Insider tip — 'Takamori Onsenkan' in Takamori-cho on the southern rim of the Aso Caldera — one of the world's largest active calderas (circumference ~120 km), with the perpetually erupting Nakadake crater at its center. Takamori sits on the caldera's outer southern slope, where geothermal activity from the Aso volcanic system reaches through the ancient basalt layers. The views from Takamori's springs toward the Aso highlands and the caldera walls rising above the fertile plains are extraordinary.
