Mount Tsurumi, Stratovolcano in Beppu, Japan
Mount Tsurumi rises 1,375 meters above sea level, featuring multiple peaks including Mount Kuranoto, Mount Uchi, and Mount Garan within Aso Kuju National Park.
The volcanic activity of Mount Tsurumi recorded its final eruption between March and May of 867 CE, marking a significant geological event in the region.
The mountain, named Tsurumi which translates to 'Cranes Mountain', represents an essential natural element in Japanese mountain worship traditions and local folklore.
The Kintetsu Beppu Ropeway transports visitors 800 meters up the mountain slopes, offering access to observation decks with views of Beppu and Oita City.
During winter months between December and March, the summit trees become covered in hoarfrost formations, creating natural ice sculptures at high altitudes.
