You can gaze into the caldera from a safe distance and see the white smoke rising from the crater, creating a breathtaking experience of nature's power and stunning beauty. Aso Sangokusenri Aso Sangokusenri is a prairie located at the northern foot of Mt. Umagatake. There is a pond formed by rainwater in the center of the prairie, and cattle and horses graze on the prairie, providing a diverse range of scenery throughout the year.
