[2025 Aso Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Aso (Updated Jan)

Autumn comes to Aso Cao Qianli has changed from green grassland to golden grassland In addition to riding horses, you can experience riding in Cao Qianli If you're lucky, you can also see the smoking Aso volcano in the distance, which is very interesting. The souvenir shop next to the parking lot is also very easy to browse! There are many local Aso souvenirs, sweets and handmade items. There is also Sosenri Coffee next to it to replenish caffeine~ After leaving Kussenri, head to Aso Crater It's a pity that because of the frequent volcanic activity today, I can only take pictures in Prospect Park. There is also a shrine on Mount Aso where you can visit. We held a meeting along the way down the mountain and passed Yonezuka Observation Area. There is no special sign here, it is a small open space where you can park. The view is very good. If you drive by yourself, you can also enjoy the rice mounds from different angles along the way. In addition, there are several specialty restaurants at the foot of Mount Aso. This time I went to Takamori Tenaku. It is a traditional Tenaku (somewhat similar to Robatayaki) and it is also worth experiencing. The atmosphere of Aso is completely different in different seasons I really like the golden grassland in autumn It is recommended that everyone visiting in autumn can arrange a day trip to walk around! # Kyushu Travel # Dopamine Travel # Kumamoto # Aso Volcano National Park There are several unique restaurants at the foot of Mount Aso.

I've always been fascinated by volcanoes and have a deep curiosity about them. After watching Suzume, my understanding of natural disasters has deepened even further. Coming to Kumamoto, a place rich in natural ecology, I couldn't miss the chance to visit. While Mount Fuji is well-known to everyone, Mount Aso should not be overlooked. Located in the center of Kyushu, Mount Aso is a very active volcano 🌋, where you can see thick white smoke billowing from the crater up close. Whether locals or tourists, the number of visitors keeps increasing. It's so crowded that you can see cars lined up waiting for parking spaces from a distance, and the flow of people keeps growing, showing the irresistible charm of Mount Aso. To get to Mount Aso, you can choose the Aso Volcano One-Day Pass (¥1,500) or join a local day tour, allowing you to enjoy the trip without any worries. Despite the strong winds, the rare blue sky and white clouds, and the gentle sunlight, I hiked all the way to the top. Watching the thick smoke rising from the crater, feeling the breeze, and seeing tourists riding horses on the grasslands, I wished time could stop at this very moment, even though the world is just a fleeting cloud of smoke.

Mount Aso in Kumamoto is an active volcano. When the alert level is below level 2, you can get up close to the Nakadake Crater to admire the volcano. If a level 2 alert is issued, you can only view the billowing smoke from a distance at Kusasenri. However, the scenery at Kusasenri is magnificent and is considered the most beautiful area on Mount Aso. Each season offers different stunning views, making a visit to Kusasenri worthwhile even if you can't reach the crater. Photography enthusiasts can capture many great shots, and visitors can enjoy leisurely horseback riding or local delicacies such as Akaushi beef and Aso fresh milk. Additionally, there is a volcano museum to explore. For transportation, take the JR train from Kumamoto Station to Aso Station, which takes about an hour and twenty minutes. The most famous sightseeing train is the Aso Boy, a black train featuring the mascot dog Kuro, whose images are found throughout the train. The train also has a children's play area, a library, and a café, making it popular with families. After arriving at Aso Station, transfer to a bus to reach the Aso Mountain Plaza, which is the Kusasenri area. If conditions allow for visiting the crater, take a shuttle bus to the Nakadake Crater. After enjoying Kusasenri, before taking the JR back to Kumamoto, you can visit Aso Shrine by taking a train to Miyaji Station and then walking to the Aso Monzenmachi shopping street. This area is famous for its clear springs, and you can find many drinkable water sources while strolling and exploring the street, adding to the fun. 🕰️Aso Shrine Hours: 09:00-17:00

Kumamoto is renowned for its natural scenery, and this time I specifically came to Mount Aso because I have always loved natural landscapes. Every time you reach the summit and look at the scenery below, feeling the gentle breeze, it brings a special sense of comfort and relief, making the world pause for a moment. Therefore, whenever I visit different places, I always make sure to take in the local scenic features. There are quite a few volcanoes standing in Japan today, with the most famous being Mount Fuji 🌋. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't great, and Mount Fuji was covered by thick clouds. So, when I planned my next volcano visit, I chose Aso. It was my first time witnessing Mount Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture. The vast grasslands immediately made me feel relaxed and free, away from the hustle and bustle, healing both body and soul. This must be the power of nature.

Breath taking scenery at Mount Aso. Mountains were covered with grass golden in color and some in white with frozen water droplets on the leaves. The pond was also frozen with a thin layer of ice. U can actually hear n see the ice crack when u walk on it ! If u are driving it’s relaxing and easy drive with stunning views along the way. There are also a few scenic stops along the way ! Overall a 5/5 must go attraction 👍🏻

The view here is absolutely remarkable, and it makes the whole hike so effortless. As it comes with an operation hours and they sometimes closed for certain reasons, so better check the availability before going to avoid disappointment. #mountaso #

Aso Volcano is a famous active volcano in Japan, a symbol of Kumamoto, famous for its complex volcano with a large crater. Frequent eruptions have made Aso Volcano a first-class alert site, and even the cable car has had to stop. When you get off the tourist bus, you will see a building that looks abandoned. This building leads to Aso Volcano. The cable car station at the entrance is often affected by Aso Volcano eruptions, so the appearance looks like a remnant of the sun, and the neighboring shrine has been through earthquakes and has been crippled even after the baptism of volcanic eruptions. Less than a kilometer along the cracked road, you will reach Kusasenri. Kusasenri is a shallow, rectangular grassland that stretches to the northern foot of Mount Eboshi, with a large pond and a herd of grazing horses in the middle, making it a pastoral scene of a faction. Here you can appreciate the vivid green summer, white winter and four seasons, and at the same time, you can also take a horseback ride, making it a great place for refreshing summer play.

Mount Aso, where volcanic activity continues, offers a tour of the crater. Be sure to check the access restrictions before you go! White smoke comes out of the crater, which is impressive, and you can feel the lava and volcanic activity. Until you head to the summit of Mount Aso, there is a vast grassland where cows and horses graze. The view of the tranquil scenery and the volcano together is amazing!
