Where in Kyushu is this?

For the Kyushu Travel Guide page, it shows a rocky caldera with smoke emitting from it, with lush green mountains in the background. I've searched through countless images of each volcano/mountain range in Kyushu but cannot find it. Can someone point me to where exactly that picture was taken? It looks beautiful there!

I think it's Mount Aso (precisesly Mount Aso-Nakadake), in Kumamoto prefecture. The picture seems to be taken in a little bit different angle from the ordinary angles... I'm not sure from where...

If I add, you can see one or two shelters on the other side of the edge of the crater, their form seems to be typical one at Mount Aso crater.

I would also say so, especially looking at the background mountain.

If I could make a suggestion to the Site Mods then a small note to give the location of these photos would be a good addition. I have spent ages trying to locate some of the other banner pictures myself.
P.s. Notice that I am not giving my opinion in this instance :)

It's from the Nakadake/Takadake Trail going around the Nakadake crater at Mt. Aso. The tall mountain in the background is Kishima-dake and the smaller peak to its right is Ojo-dake. It was taken south from the Nakadake Peak along the rim of the crater trail. You turn right at Nakadake to continue up to Takadake. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mt.+Nakadake/@32.8807229,131.0973584...Behind the person's backpack in the Kyushu Travel Guide picture you can see a building and a couple of walkways. All these are closed now but are the usual overlook area for the active crater. Nakadake and Kishima-dake are now off limits. Nakadake because of volcanic activity and I'm not sure why the trail of Kishima is closed - maybe erosion prevention. Here's a picture I took from along the same trail except looking more to the north and in winter. Kishima-dake is in the background. https://www.flickr.com/photos/anaguma/402798325
