Aso-san, the symbol of Kumamoto Prefecture, is the largest compound volcano in Japan, situated in the central part of Aso Kuju National Park. The central cone group consists of five peaks, the highest 1592-meter Taka-dake, still active – – Naka-dake, Neko-dake, Eboshi-dake, and Kishima-dake. This mountain boasts arguably the largest caldera in the world, extending 25 kilometers in the north-south direction and 18 kilometers in the east-west direction.

It's too smoky during my visit so don"t get to see the blue water, it's took us only 30 mins to drive up from the Aso station.

We spent a late morning and relaxing lunch here. Drove half an hour from hotel at Aso and there was parking with daily rate. Magnificent view of the open grassland where tourists like us can walkabout. I think it was about 1000 yen for a slow guided horse-ride for about 5-10 minutes (a great tourist experience nevertheless). Several choices for restaurants. The one we ate at was pretty good.

Michi No Eki Aso is here to introduce you to Aso city. You can find here an information center (but if you read the pages of this blog you already knew it) where you can ask informations about various topics like where to find the restaurant you want or what places to visit.You can also ask us if you want to know about the crater situation. But you will also find here a large number of local specialties for sale : meat, milk, vegetables and so on. Of course everything is coming from Aso area !
