Nishiyama Crater Promenade

The sight of the eruption in March 2000 has been preserved as an educational tool. A wooden walking trail has been created and you can experience the great powers of nature such as active volcanic vents, underground lava flows and buildings and roads that have fallen victim to movements in the earth's crust and volcanic cinders.
