Aso

Aso, Hiking and riding in the mountain grasslands
A far cry from the flashing lights of Shinjuku and the bustling crowds of Shibuya, the volcanic caldera of Aso provides visitors with a fulfilling sense of peace and serenity. Embark on scenic drives, gorgeous hikes, and bathe in volcanic hot springs, all while surrounded by untouched natural beauty.

One of Japan's first national parks, Aso-Kuju National Park is an essential place to visit for hiking, outdoor sports, or hot springs. In the center of it all lies Mt. Aso, a collapsed caldera and the most active volcanic area in Japan. The grasslands nestled within the caldera of Aso are long beloved by poets and artists and are still a major tourist attraction today.

For stunning views, drive along the Milk Road to see Aso at its most gorgeous. Rolling hills, fields of flowing grass, impressive mountains—the Milk Road is picturesque at any time of year. The name is derived from the region's numerous dairy cows, producing some of Japan's best milk, cheese and ice cream. There is no excuse not to visit this stunning piece of the country, especially for those eager to see a part of Japan most don't get to see.
