Mount Aso erupts with alert level 3 after 36 years

By MOOK Scenic Spots Family, compiled and reported

Areas around Mount Aso and the city of Aso have been affected by volcanic ash. Attention should also be paid to falling rocks from the eruption. Additionally, due to volcanic ash adhering to power lines, many electrical circuits have been interrupted, resulting in power outages. In the evening, rainfall began around Mount Aso, turning the volcanic ash into mud.

The nearby famous attraction “Kusahiraichi,” located approximately 2.8 kilometers from the crater, has not yet confirmed whether it can reopen for visits due to the impact of the volcanic eruption.
