Mount Kuju くじゅう山

Kuju Mountain range is part of the Aso-Kuju National Park, located in Oita prefecture and is the highest peak of Kyushu Island, standing 1791 metres high. It is a stratovolcano, and its last eruption was back in 1995.

Between late October and November, Kuju is famous for its vibrant autumn colours in Kyushu.

It was stunning! The Kouyou (autumn colours) were mostly boasting down below at the start of the hike before we headed up the volcanic territory.
