25 Most Beautiful Places in Japan

"Japan’s largest active volcano, Mount Aso is exciting enough in itself, with its near-constant spewing of smoke and 15-mile north-to-south diameter caldera. The gently undulating grasslands of Kusasenri at the foot of the mountains are spotted with ponds and grazing livestock. They're also open for hiking and horseback riding." - Travel + Leisure Editors
