What travellers say about Aso

5.0
One of my favorite areas and attractions in Kitakyushu. The whole Aso area is beautiful. We were lucky enough to see horses in Kusasenri and go to the crater. It might be the off-season, but there were not many people in the view restaurant. You can sit as you like. It's so friendly. I want to bring my kids back in the summer to see the green scenery. I highly recommend Aso! You can also go to Kurokawa Onsen, which is great.

We recommend parent-child tours of Aso Farm Park
I don't know if it's because it hasn't recovered after the epidemic or what, I can't see more than 50 people for 3 days and 2 nights. It's a good walk for such a large farm🤩 In addition to kissing the animals, there are many children inside Indoor facilities, adults can also cheap spa, worth coming again!

Even in the cloudy winter, it was still beautiful. When I first arrived in Aso, I thought Aso was a little small, but once I got here, I found a different Aso, so open. If I had time to wait for half an hour, the clouds would have dissipated, and the Aso Five Mountains would be right in front of me, and the rural village would be surrounded and protected by the mountains. It was so comfortable to walk and run in the grass. From the observatory, I found a trail going down all the way. I guess I can hike down the mountain from here. I walked in all directions and found several similar trails going down the mountain. I must come and experience it next time and enjoy the scenery from different heights and angles. It should be more beautiful in the summer when the grass is green.

The natural scenery is very beautiful and the air is very fresh, just like a natural oxygen bar, which allows tourists to relax their body and mind to a great extent. It is a very beautiful attraction. My family especially likes Kitakyushu, Japan.
