九州の自然の驚異

Kyushu's Natural Wonders

Kyushu's landscape is defined by intense volcanic activity and diverse coastal geography. This collection features Mount Aso, home to one of the world's largest calderas, and the persistently active Sakurajima. Beyond the peaks, the list includes the limestone formations of Furen and Nanatsugama caves, the high-altitude Kuju mountain range, and the expansive mudflats of the Ariake Sea. These sites, along with major engineering works like the Hitotsuse and Gousho dams, showcase the island's geological heritage and its relationship with water resources.
