Garan-dake (Mt. Garan) is a beautiful volcano soaring in the northeast of Yufuin, where white fumaroles, the breath of Earth's life force, still burst out dynamically from the mountainside, creating a highly mysterious and dynamic landscape. It is the origin point of the great geothermal power that brings rich hot spring sources like Myoban Onsen, and the trekking course where you can observe the massive crater跡 (crater ruins) closely stimulates travelers' intellectual curiosity. Completely away from urban busyness, standing while gazing at the grand panorama of rugged rock walls and wide sky in this environment brings deep tranquility, naturally realigning your mind-body balance.
