Mt. Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture is a powerful volcano with one of the world's largest calderas, and is a place where you will be overwhelmed by its scale and majestic nature! ⛰️🔥 This is a spot where you can experience the power unique to an active volcano, and you can truly "feel the earth". As you approach the Nakadake crater, you will see white smoke rising from the crater...! 🌬️ Depending on the wind direction, you can see it up close and feel the energy of nature on your skin. The surrounding Kusasenrihama is also beautiful with its vast grasslands, and you will be soothed by the sight of cows and horses relaxing there ~ 🐎🌾 It's perfect for a drive, and wherever you drive, there are spectacular views! 🏞️ Especially on sunny days, the contrast between the sky and the mountains is like a scene from a movie. One of the attractions is that it shows different faces with each season.
