Mount Naka (1,506 m) is an active volcano straddling Aso City and Minamiaso Village in Kumamoto Prefecture, at the center of the Aso caldera and the focus of its continuing volcanic activity. The First Crater west of the summit emits volcanic fumes and is reached by the Aso-zan Park Road, but crater viewing is possible only when restrictions are lifted.
