Immediately after the huge eruption on Kuchinoerabu Island, the claim that “Japan’s most-active volcano is Mount Aso” doesn’t ring true.
“There is some concern that Mount Fuji is showing signs of eruption in the near future, but as things stand, Japan’s most-active volcano is Mount Aso, in Aso Kujū national park on the southern island of Kyushu. It has one of the largest calderas in the world, offering myriad viewpoints over its twisted, pitted landscape.”
On the other hand, with a qualifier such as “one of the most,” I think the statement is eminently defensible. I saw a local news broadcast recently in which an expert pointed out that the volcano is likely to become more dangerous in the rainy season (June to early July).
By the way, here’s a link to a news article about the eruption in Kuchinoerabu Island, in Kagoshima Prefecture:
