2025 Aso Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Autumn comes to Aso Cao Qianli has changed from green grassland to golden grassland In addition to riding horses, you can experience riding in Cao Qianli If you're lucky, you can also see the smoking Aso volcano in the distance, which is very interesting. The souvenir shop next to the parking lot is also very easy to browse! There are many local Aso souvenirs, sweets and handmade items. There is also Sosenri Coffee next to it to replenish caffeine~ After leaving Kussenri, head to Aso Crater It's a pity that because of the frequent volcanic activity today, I can only take pictures in Prospect Park. There is also a shrine on Mount Aso where you can visit. We held a meeting along the way down the mountain and passed Yonezuka Observation Area. There is no special sign here, it is a small open space where you can park. The view is very good. If you drive by yourself, you can also enjoy the rice mounds from different angles along the way. In addition, there are several specialty restaurants at the foot of Mount Aso. This time I went to Takamori Tenaku. It is a traditional Tenaku (somewhat similar to Robatayaki) and it is also worth experiencing. The atmosphere of Aso is completely different in different seasons I really like the golden grassland in autumn It is recommended that everyone visiting in autumn can arrange a day trip to walk around! # Kyushu Travel # Dopamine Travel # Kumamoto # Aso Volcano National Park There are several unique restaurants at the foot of Mount Aso.

#Roadtrip A fresh photo taken on November 4th! I went to see the sea of ​​clouds at Daikanbo in Aso♪ The sea of ​​clouds in Aso has a big temperature difference between morning and evening, so it is said to be easiest to see in autumn. Now is the time!! The conditions are a temperature difference between morning and evening, humidity, and rain the day before, but even if all of these conditions are met, it may not appear. The conditions on the day I went were as follows. ◾️Time when I saw the sea of ​​clouds: around 7am⭐︎Weather: sunny⭐︎Temperature: 8 degrees⭐︎Humidity: 95%⭐︎Maximum temperature of the day: 22 degreesTemperature difference: 14 degrees◾️Heavy rain two days ago◾️I could see the morning mist from the flat ground of the hotel near Aso Station where I was staying! It seems that many people predicted that the sea of ​​clouds would appear the next day due to the heavy rain two days ago, but the temperature rose due to the rain, and the high temperature in the morning meant that the sea of ​​clouds did not appear. It seems that the sea of ​​clouds appears depending on luck, but please refer to the conditions on the day I went ♪ The driving course to Daikanbo is also scenic and amazing. 📍Daikanbo Observatory 2090-8 Yamada, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture, 869-2313 8 hours: 24 hours Points to see the sea of ​​clouds 📝The sea of ​​clouds is from 6:30 to around 8:00, so try to reach the summit by then 📝If you want to see the sunrise, arrive by around 6:00 📝Check the temperature difference between morning and evening 📝Stay at a hotel near Daikanbo (so you can go as soon as the morning mist appears) I stayed at Fairfield Aso on the Aso Station side. 🚗A hotel about 20 minutes by car to the summit. #100TravelStyle #KumamotoTourism #DaikanboObservatory

I didn't have high expectations for Aso Backpackers Inn at first, but I didn't expect it to be so warm and comfortable, and the room was neat and clean. It is also very close to Aso Station, where you can take photos with the liar cloth at the station, and there are agricultural specialties to buy. There is a lowson nearby, so you don’t have to worry about being hungry at night! If you want to take a hot spring bath, the B&B owner has also cooperated with nearby hot spring bathhouses, so you can go and experience it! The small disadvantage is that the water in the sink is ice cold and there is no hot water 😅 It's a bit cold in winter 😂

This is the place that I have always wanted to come, just 2 or 3 hours away from my city Fukuoka. Unfortunately this time, the mountain was covered with lot of volcanic ash but still the air was so fresh on the top and the landscape was amazing. If you ever have a chance to visit Kumamoto or Kyushu island, I would really recommend here. And say hi to the cute cows as well:)

Aso Volcano is famous for its milk as everyone knows, but the volcano can really be visited by people, not just a name! The biggest reason to go to Kyushu this time is because I want to take a helicopter to see the volcano. Going to Aso Volcano depends on luck, the day we were scheduled to go was windy and rainy, everything could not be played. The weather was good this day, but the airflow in the morning is unstable, so you can't play hot air balloons. The advantage of driving is that emergencies can be easily responded to randomly, see and see the volcano for a while, I went to Grand View Peak to see first. Once we reached Grand View Peak, I couldn't help but sigh with my boyfriend. The scenery is so beautiful. The blue sky coupled with the green fields and breeze is really comfortable and realistic. After taking some photos, we drove to Cao Chili. Kusanagi is very beautiful along the way, I helped him change his name to Hanami Koji 🤣 because there are many pink flowers along the way, with some horses, the whole thing was fantastic After riding, I saw the helicopter next door was open and quickly drove there, to 1130, the row of seats has been down at 4:30🙈 so halfway to eat Shirakawa Nozo and see Shirakawa water source. No plan to Shirakawa water source, purely because with food close to go. Seeing that to drive back to the volcano to 😍😍😍 At the same time, I am glad that I am a nervous master, have a long time to locate because there are many people want to play but no queue to play can not. We played for seven minutes, 10,000 yen per person, round back HKD only 500 really cheap to get off the plane. When you come to Kumamoto, you must visit #Asovolcano. Remember to take a helicopter! I was lucky that day, the volcano was very stable, we used the first way to contact the volcano, and it was so right to see it explode, the hot smoke and the smell of sulfuric acid still remember 🙈🙈 I want to cough when I think about it😂🙈🙈 If it is really like our land, so unfortunately, the weather is not good, can not be the original date to Aso volcano, we can like my land, to go to it is quite close to Takachiho boating is very beautiful, are many views to see, personally think it is a very worth visiting attractions ~ 🌟Each attraction is not very close, recommended driving/participating local day trip🌟 🌟If you don't want to see the animals, you can go directly to the helicopter viewing area next to Kusai Chili to play helicopter, 7 minutes is more affordable🌟 🌟Helicopter is a popular local event, it is recommended to go in line as soon as the door opens (open 11)🌟 🌸Easy Japanese🌸 Car: (クルマ/くるま) ku ru ma Volcano: (かざん) ka za nn Helicopter: (ヘリコプター) he li ko pu taa Horse: (うま) u ma #Asuvolcano #Aso #Kumamoto #Takachiho Gorge # Sign up for a hotel sleeper

Address: Kumamoto Many people always choose Tokyo and Osaka as their first choice when they go to Japan, and self-driving tours have also become very popular in recent years. Kumamoto is definitely one of the top choices for self-driving tours in Japan. Kumamoto is one of the prefectures of Kyushu. Due to the presence of Mount Aso (cover) and the large temperature difference, the fruits and vegetables in Kumamoto are relatively sweet. The more famous fruit is Kumamoto strawberry. In addition, Kumamoto is also famous for its quiet environment and abundant delicious food. If you want to see the scenery, you can take a helicopter to overlook Mount Aso and Takachiho from high above (Figure 4). If you want to try local delicacies, there is also horse meat (which tastes like toro, refreshing and sweet), which is not available in other cities. If you want to travel by car and want to go to a place with fewer tourists and try different flavors, Kumamoto must be your first choice.

The Heiwa Ryokan is one of the hotels I recommend during my Kyushu trip 💜. It is an old-fashioned hotel with natural scenery, located in a rural area, which is relatively quiet~. I should say that Aso is a place with few people and beautiful scenery. We stayed here for two days, and it was very comfortable~. We came in December, and maybe because it was the off-season, there were fewer people staying. The hotel has a parking lot at the entrance, which is convenient for self-driving. The staff is very enthusiastic. When we entered, they took us to the lobby to check-in and even brought us snacks~. We booked a standard room with breakfast for $1100 per night. Although the room is relatively old-fashioned, everything is complete, and the heating is sufficient. When checking in, you can also make an appointment with the staff to soak in a private hot spring. There are fewer restaurants near the hotel, and you need to walk for more than ten minutes to dine outside for dinner~. The sky here is very clean, and you can see stars all over the sky at night. I really like this kind of rural life in Japan~. The next day, the staff prepared breakfast and knocked on our door to notify us. I have to say that the breakfast is really rich and of high quality~. There is even a foot warmer under the table for us to warm our feet. It's really thoughtful~. #Japanese hotel #travel #overseas travel #resident writer #Japan trip

Asahi-ya is a restaurant I visited on my trip to Aso. They serve horse meat sashimi, a specialty of Aso, at reasonable prices. Not only do they have four types of horse meat sashimi - lean, lean meat top, special selection, and finest - you can also buy various parts such as mane and yukhoe! The taste is also guaranteed!!! Even though it is lean meat, it is as delicious as the special selection at other stores, and the finest meat was so soft and high quality that the fat melted with body heat when I defrosted it a little and cut it😆 Per 100g (tax included) Lean meat 1,026 yen Lean meat top 1,242 yen Special selection 1,620 yen Fine 1,944 yen 1980 Miyaji, Ichinomiya-cho, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture #gourmet trip #gourmet #horse meat #Kumamoto Prefecture #Aso #gourmet trip #delicious food tour #horse meat

Traveling to Japan? 👀 I've found that travelers seeking immersive experiences, away from the hustle and bustle of big cities, often prefer Japan's countryside! ⚠️ Attention everyone! While Japan's countryside may be less traveled, it's far from boring‼️ This time, we've planned a 7-day, 6-night trip to Fukuoka in Kyushu, Japan! It's only about a 2-hour direct flight from Shanghai! 🌟 This itinerary features themed trains, ocean views, A5 Saga beef, active volcanoes, ancient hot springs, a tour of Beppu's "Hells," cherry blossoms, azaleas, and more. You'll also meet the adorable Kumamon, visit the fairytale-like setting that inspired *My Neighbor Totoro*, and experience art museums and a collection of Koshino sake! Day 1: Fly direct from Shanghai to Fukuoka Airport, where a private car will transfer you to Kurume. If you happen to visit between mid-April and early May, you'll be greeted by azaleas transforming the entire town into a rural garden, rivaling the beauty of cherry blossoms! There's also a thousand-year-old shrine worth visiting, hailed by past visitors as one of the "most stunning views in Kyushu"! In the evening, you'll stay at a traditional Japanese onsen ryokan! With a 150,000-square-meter Japanese garden, it feels like the hotel itself is an attraction! The garden boasts 5,000 cherry trees and nearly 50,000 azaleas. During the cherry blossom season in March and April, there's a nightly illumination ceremony. During the azalea season (late March to Golden Week), an annual flower festival creates a vibrant atmosphere! Day 2: Next stop is Yanagawa!

We decided to visit Mount Aso on a whim, and choosing a hotel for this trip was quite a hassle. Due to the rushed itinerary, I felt that hotel prices in Mount Aso were generally high, and most rooms had mediocre views. I wonder if this was because I booked too hastily. I finally settled on Aso Resort Grandvrio Hotel. At that time, the cheaper rooms with hot springs were already booked, so I booked a small suite with a hot spring, including breakfast, for a total of JPY 79,000. The hotel has a nice perk: from 4 to 6 pm, guests can go to the lounge on the top floor for drinks. The room has its own restaurant, and every morning, staff will enter the room through another door to set up breakfast. The room is very spacious, especially suitable for families with children. Although the room rate is not low, the overall experience is great. The hot spring in the room is open 24 hours, and the hotel also has an indoor hot spring. Guests only need to call the front desk to make a reservation. Regarding dining, I strongly recommend choosing a package plan that includes dinner. When we went, it happened to be Wednesday, and many restaurants near the hotel were closed. The waiter told us that the restaurant does not require a reservation and we can go directly, but based on actual experience, it is best to call to confirm first to avoid delays in dining. During the food exploration process, I found a few restaurants worth trying. [Specific Restaurant Name 1]'s [Signature Dish 1] is a must-try, with fresh ingredients, unique cooking methods, and a taste that lingers. There's also [Specific Restaurant Name 2]'s [Signature Dish 2], with a delicate texture and rich aroma, sure to satisfy your taste buds. However, there are also some things to avoid on this trip. I bought [Specific Food] from a seemingly good snack stall, but the taste was far from expected, and the price was not cheap. In addition, when taking scenic transportation, be sure to check the operating hours and routes in advance. We wasted a lot of time waiting for the bus because we didn't do our homework. Overall, the trip to Mount Aso had its surprises and regrets. Aso Resort Grandvrio Hotel provided us with a comfortable stay, and there were plenty of delicious foods nearby, but the preparations before the trip should be more detailed to make the journey more perfect. I hope my experiences can provide some reference for friends planning to visit Mount Aso, so everyone can have a pleasant journey.

Accommodation in Aso, Kumamoto, Fairfield by Marriott Hotel, with a simple and elegant log style, the space is neat, clean and comfortable. The room is large considering the price of Japanese hotels. It can hold two large suitcases without blocking the way. A one-minute walk from Aso Station, there is a roadside shop selling various souvenirs. There is a free lounge area in the hotel lobby. The bar has a variety of self-service tea, coffee ☕ and miso soup 🍲. There is an oven for preheating and a microwave, so you can buy bento and bread and heat them up for easy eating. The most satisfying thing is that the mattress and pillow are super comfortable. A good night's sleep when you are away from home is more important than anything else.
