Aso National Park is a mountain park centered on Mt. Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu. Four types of stamps were issued, including a distant view of Mt. Aso and a crater.At the same time, a small sheet with a commentary was released, but since 1937 (Showa 12), Japan was in a state of war due to the Sino-Japanese War, and due to a shortage of Tato (cover) paper, only 60,000 sheets were issued.
