Mount Yufu, Stratovolcano in Ōita Prefecture, Japan

Mount Yufu rises 1,583 meters above sea level with distinctive twin peaks in the northeastern section of Kyushu, forming part of Aso Kujū National Park.

The volcano experienced its last eruption approximately 2,200 years ago, causing a significant collapse of the mountain structure and reshaping its current formation.

Local residents refer to this mountain as Bungo Fuji, drawing a connection to the similar dual-peak appearance of the famous Mount Fuji.

Three main trails lead to the summit, with the Main Trailhead route providing facilities and taking approximately two and a half hours to complete the ascent.

The mountain contains two accessible summits, with the western peak standing one meter higher than the eastern peak, requiring chains for the final climb.
