About Mount Azuma-kofuji
Mount Azuma-kofuji is a mountain. Location: Fukushima Shi, Fukushima. Elevation: 1,705 m.
Mount Azuma-kofuji (吾妻小富士) is an active stratovolcano in Fukushima prefecture, Japan. It has a conical-shaped crater and as the name "Kofuji" (small Mount Fuji) suggests, Mount Azuma is similar in shape to Mount Fuji. Mount Azuma's symmetrical crater and the nearby fumarolic area with its many onsen have made it a popular tourist destination. The Bandai-Azuma Skyline passes just below the crater, allowing visitors to drive to within walking distance of the crater and other various hiking trails on the mountain.
