Target entity: Southwest Japan Arc
Context triple: [Mount Aso, locatedInVolcanicArc, Southwest Japan Arc]

• A. Northeastern Japan Arc
  The Northeastern Japan Arc is a major volcanic arc in northern Honshu formed by subduction along the Japan Trench, characterized by numerous active and dormant volcanoes including Mount Akagi.
• B. Izu–Bonin Arc
  The Izu–Bonin Arc is a volcanic island arc in the western Pacific Ocean formed by subduction along the boundary of the Philippine Sea Plate, stretching south from Japan’s Izu Peninsula toward the Mariana Islands.
