Mt. Aso, is ONLY volcano in the WORLD you can peek into from a crater rim. In the crater you can see turquoise blue boiling water, which makes you imagine what the earth was like in ancient time. Depending on the condition of the volcano, it is prohibited to come close to the rim, however the majestic view of the mountain never fails to impress you. On this tour we will visit 3 main spots of Mt. Aso and one ancient shrines. As a local guide, who has had tours almost 200 tours, I would like to show you Aso from both scientific and mythical points of view. And I would like to tell you how the local people live in the caldera and why. note : we cannot go to Nakadake, an active volcano when eruption level alert is more than 1 (the area within 1 km from the crater becomes off limits. )
Daikanbo Lookout: Stop by. Enjoy the majestic view of the caldera where 50, 000 people live from the highest point of the northern caldera wall. There is no other CALDERA in the world where so many people live. Roadside Station Aso: Stop by. You can experience rural atmosphere. Locally grown agricultural produce and specialties of Aso are available. Kusasenri: Stop by. An inactive grassy crater holding water makes the view so special. You can ride horses if you like. Nakadake: Stop by. The landscape of Nakadake is like lunar. The volcanic gas is coming out constantly there. Kamishikimikumanozaimasu Shrine: Stop by. Ancient shrine in mountainous area attracts many people with its mysterious atmosphere. In clean air walking up the stairs lined with stone lanterns covered with moss will make you feel purified.
