from Hanaokayama ( a small mountain ) you can enjoy a nice view of the city
of Kumamoto |

40 km away from Kumamoto you can visit the largest volcano in Japan - Mt. ASO
its crater " Nakadake " belches up smoke continuously |

concrete-shelters are supposed to protect visitors against sudden eruptions |

from time to time a very pungent smell wells up from the green crater-lake |

it is possible to walk around the crater´s rim along 4 km of well maintained footpaths ...
