Aira
Aira Caldera is a gigantic volcanic caldera located on the southern end of Kyushu, Japan. It is believed to have been formed about 30,000 years ago with a succession of pyroclastic surges. It is currently the place of residence to over 900,000 people. The shores of Aira Caldera have rare flora and fauna, including Japanese bay tree and Japanese black pine. The caldera contains the active Mount Sakurajima.
