The almost unique circle shape seen in aerial/satellite imagery is due to contrast with the surrounding pasture lands which extend right upto the circular limits of the National Park.
Because of it's shape and the surroundings, which resemble Mount Fuji, it was used as a locale for Tom Cruise's famous movie - The Last Samurai.
