central Kyushu, Japan, 32.88°N / 131.11°E

Summit height: 1592 m / 5,223 ft

Current status: restless (2 out of 5)

Last update: 9 Jul 2025 (Smithsonian / USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report)

Aso (or Asosan) volcano in central Kyushu Island in southwestern Japan is one of the world's most active volcanoes. In recent years, it has been the site of frequent ash eruptions.
Aso is no single edifice, but a complex of active vents in the center of a large 24 km wide caldera.
Typical eruption style: explosive

Background
The 24-km-wide Aso caldera was formed during four major explosive eruptions from 300,000 to 90,000 years ago. These produced voluminous pyroclastic flows that covered much of Kyushu. The last of these, the Aso-4 eruption, produced more than 600 cu km of airfall tephra and pyroclastic-flow deposits. A group of 17 central cones was constructed in the middle of the caldera, one of which, Naka-dake, is one of Japan's most active volcanoes. It was the location of Japan's first documented historical eruption in 553 AD. The Naka-dake complex has remained active throughout the Holocene. Several other cones have been active during the Holocene, including the Kometsuka scoria cone as recently as about 210 AD. Historical eruptions have largely consisted of basaltic to basaltic-andesite ash emission with periodic strombolian and phreatomagmatic activity. The summit crater of Naka-dake is accessible by toll road and cable car, and is one of Kyushu's most popular tourist destinations.

Remark:

Our list of volcanic eruptions closely follows the database of eruptions of the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Project (GVP), the internationally most recognized data source for volcanic eruptions, but also includes significant eruptive episodes or related volcano events. " Volcanic eruptions" are usually to be understood as sequences of individual eruptive episodes that can follow each other, or even overlap (if several vents are involved), and can last many years, decades or even longer. For example, the current activity of Stromboli volcano is understood as a single eruption that has been ongoing since 1934.

Eruptions of Aso volcano

1997 fatalities
2 tourists were killed by volcanic gas 100 m south of the rim of Crater 1 on 23 November 1997. Since 1980, more than 70 people have been injured by volcanic gases at Aso and have been hospitalized.

1979 fatalities
3 people were killed and 11 injured by ballistic blocks ejected by an explosion that occurred at about 1pm local time on 6 September 1979.

Aso Volcano FAQ

+When was the last eruption of Aso volcano?

The last confirmed eruption of Aso occurred in 2021.

+How often does Aso volcano erupt?

Since 864 AD, Aso volcano has had at least 159 historically documented eruptions. This means that it erupts on average every 7.3 years.
Many eruptions of Aso have lasted more than one year. In total, the volcano has been in eruption during 193 out of 1161 years until now. In other words, Aso has been active at least one in 6 years on average. Note that this value is likely an underestimate, because the known history of eruptions from Aso is likely incomplete, especially further back in time.

+How active is Aso volcano at present?

Aso volcano is extremely active: Since 1900, it has been near-continuously active, showing eruptive activity during 89 years out of 126 as of now. The last eruption was in 2021 and ended 4 years ago.

+When was the largest eruption of Aso volcano?

The largest eruption of Aso volcano in historic times occurred in 2016. It ranks as a "vulcanian" eruption with a magnitude 3 on the VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) scale.
