Overview

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Aso, Kumamoto's "Land of Fire," on this immersive 1-day private tour. Led by an expert guide, you'll explore the region's most stunning natural wonders, carefully preserved for generations. Begin at Kusasenri, a vast grassland stretching 780,000 sqm at 1,100m altitude. Marvel at the striking contrast between Mt. Aso Nakadake's grandeur and the idyllic scene of grazing livestock. Next, ascend to Daikanbo for a spectacular 360-degree panorama. From here, admire Aso's townscape and the Five Peaks, resembling a reclining Buddha. The tour concludes at the mystical Nabegataki Falls, a 10m high, 20m wide curtain of water formed by ancient volcanic activity. This popular photo spot showcases nature's raw beauty. It's a perfect blend of natural wonders and cultural significance, suitable for all nature enthusiasts.

Itinerary

  • Kusasenrigahama

    The tour will visit the crater of Mt. Nakadake, which is still very active to this day. Afterwards, stroll around Kusasenri, a vast grassland approximately 780,000 sqm at an altitude of about 1,100 m. This is one of Aso's most scenic spots, with the majestic Mt. Nakadake and beautiful grassland spreading out before your eyes. Look forward to relishing the scenery of the season. Access to the Mt. Aso Nakadake Crater is subject to weather conditions. If the viewing area is closed to the public, the crater tour will not take place and instead, the tour will visit the Volcano Museum. Customers will have free time to purchase and enjoy their own lunch at the cafe and restaurant area in front of Kusasenri. Meal charges is not included in the tour. [Mt. Aso Nakadake Crater. Kusasenrigahama (Kusasenri Plain) 65min. Lunch Time 45min.]

    1 hour 50 minutes

  • Daikanbo Lookout

    Visit Daikanbo, an observatory offering a 360-degree panoramic view of magnificent nature. The observation deck located at an altitude of about 900 m showcases superb views of the Aso townscape, the Five Peaks of Aso, and the Kuju Mountains, making it one of Kumamoto's best lookout points. It is also famous for the view of the Five Peaks of Aso resembling a sleeping Buddha. It takes about 10 minutes to walk uphill from the parking lot to the observation deck.

    40 minutes

  • Nabegataki Falls

    The tour will visit Nabegataki Falls, which is said to have been created by the massive eruption that created the Aso caldera about 90,000 years ago. The waterfall took many years to form into its current shape, and it's still changing shape little by little as a result of repeated erosion. The waterfall has a drop of 10 m and a width of 20 m, and the water flowing like a curtain gives it a truly mystical beauty that makes it a popular photo spot. From the parking lot to the falls, customers will walk about 20 minutes round-trip along the pathway in Nabegataki Park.

    40 minutes

  • Aso Milk Factory

    The tour will make a stop at the Aso Milk Factory, which offers dairy products of Aso as well as vegetables and fruits grown by local producers. Aso is a region with a rich agricultural culture that has been recognized as one of the Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems. Among these, dairy farming is a flourishing system, and dairy products made using Aso milk have become a brand in their own right.
