Full description

Then arrive at Aso Volcano, located in the northeast of Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu Island. It is the symbol of Kumamoto and is famous for its composite volcano with a large caldera. Kusasenri is a vast grassy plain which offers great views of the volcanically active Nakadake Peak. There is also a large pond in Kusasenri where you can also see horses grazing.

The itinerary is great and timed well. In my opinion it should definitely be mentioned, that going to the crater of the volcano might not happen because of ‘toxic gases’, wind or whatever. I booked the trip specifically for it - and didn’t get it. Also it would be helpful to know that there are extra charges (like transport to the crater) that have to be paid in cash. No cards are accepted and there are no cash machines around. It is also problematic for the onsens - they all prefer cash payments. Apart from that great trip and Kevin the guide was really sweet.

It was wonderful. Seeing the landscape and getting to know Japan in a different way. A temple on the mountain that is supposed to give you new strength. Then you stand in front of an active volcano. I was lucky and we were allowed to look at the crater. Then letting your soul unwind in a warm onsen. How wonderful can that be? If you want to relax from the big city and would rather see rural Japan, then you are in good hands here.
