🇯🇵 Mt. Aso | Was the drive from Fukuoka worth it?

📍 Mt. Aso, Kumamoto

Mt. Aso was one of the places I wanted to visit on my Kyushu trip because I wanted to see a volcano with smoke still rising from its crater with my own eyes.

I drove from Fukuoka, which took about 2.5 hours. Most of the route was on the highway, making it easy to drive. Once I entered the Aso area, the view changed to vast grasslands and mountains, prompting me to stop and take photos even before reaching my destination.

The weather was clear the day I went, the smoke from the volcanic crater was clearly visible, and the wind was quite strong. It was cooler than I expected, even though it was midday.

What I liked most wasn't the volcanic crater itself, but the atmosphere of the surrounding area, the road cutting through the grasslands, and the constantly changing views. I stopped at several other spots just a few kilometers away.

Travel Information:

🚗 Fukuoka → Mt. Aso
⏱️ Approximately 2.5–3 hours

Recommendations:

· Check the crater's opening hours before your trip.
· If you have time, also visit Kusasenri and Daikanbo.
· Take photos in the morning. The lighting is better and there aren't many people yet.

⭐ Personal rating: 10/10
