Ōnami Lake (4600 ft elevation), Japan's highest crater lake, on Mt Karakuni, Kirishima City, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu island. A short drive from lodging in Kirishima reaches the Ōnami-iki pond trailhead (1.8 miles round trip hike with 800 feet gain, mostly paved, though a bit slippery to descend when wet and leafy). The surrounding Kirishima-Kinkowan National Park offers beautiful landscapes, famous mountains, and popular hiking trails. Within a 1-hour drive from Kagoshima International Airport, the Kirishima Range is filled with active volcanos straddling Kagoshima and Miyazaki Prefectures — featuring some of Japan's most scenic volcanic cones, craters, and hot springs.
