[2024 Aso Attraction] Travel Guide for Mount Aso (Updated Oct)

Mount Aso

This is the place that I have always wanted to come, just 2 or 3 hours away from my city Fukuoka. Unfortunately this time, the mountain was covered with lot of volcanic ash but still the air was so fresh on the top and the landscape was amazing. If you ever have a chance to visit Kumamoto or Kyushu island, I would really recommend here. And say hi to the cute cows as well:)

the place very warming with a lots of greenery

Japan - Mount Aso

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 👍🏻
