The Kuju mountain range (Kujūsan) is part of the Aso-Kuju National Park and includes the highest peak in Kyushu.
The mountains are covered by a network of hiking trails that offer magnificent views of the volcanic terrain.
Between late October and mid November, Kuju becomes one of the best places to enjoy fall colors.
The Kuju mountains are located along the Yamanami Highway that extends from Beppu to Aso as PART of the fascinating Trans Kyushu Route.
The two main the beginning of a trails for the Kuju mountains are located at the Makinoto Pass and the Chojabaru Visitor Center,
which are both along the popular road.
Of the park's two main trailheads, the Makinoto Pass is located at a higher elevation and is closer to the main mountain peaks,
while the Chojabaru Visitor Center has informative displays about the area and more facilities.
Depending on the trailhead and route taken, a round trip to Kuju's main peaks typically takes between four and six hours.
Because of the area's volcanic activity, there are quite a few onsen (natural hot springs) in the Kuju area.
Around the base of the mountains there are a few ryokan and hotels with hot spring baths that can be used by overnight guests and in some cases day trippers.
The especially attractive hot spring town of Kurokawa Onsen is also located nearby.
