Aso Holidays
Aso, located in Kumamoto Prefecture on Japan's Kyushu Island, is home to one of the largest active volcanoes in the world, offering a unique and dramatic landscape for visitors to explore. The Aso caldera, spanning over 25 kilometres, is surrounded by lush green fields, rolling hills, and rural villages, making it an ideal destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. A must-see is the Aso crater, where visitors can get up close to the bubbling volcanic activity, and even take a cable car or hike to the crater's rim for panoramic views. For those who enjoy a more serene experience, the Aso Volcano Museum provides insightful information on the region's volcanic history and geological features.
Aso's wide open spaces are perfect for hiking, horseback riding, and cycling, while the picturesque Kusasenri grasslands offer peaceful walking trails. Travellers can also visit the Aso Shrine, an ancient Shinto shrine set amidst the mountains, or enjoy the relaxing hot springs in the nearby areas.
