Getting There -  Attractions - Mount Aso (阿蘇山, Asosan) is an active volcano in the center of Kyushu which most recently erupted in 2016 but has since calmed down again. Aso's ancient caldera ranks among the world's largest, with a diameter of up to 25 kilometers and a circumference of over 100 kilometers. In the center of the caldera stand the mountain's active volcanic peaks, including Mount Nakadake, whose spectacular crater is accessible to tourists. Hotels -  Food & Restaurants -  Shopping - 

How to Enjoy a Day Trip to Mount Aso?

Besides driving to Mount Aso, independent travelers can also take JR or other transportation to visit Mount Aso Volcano. This time, I used the bus. For those arranging a day trip to Mount Aso Volcano, it is recommended to check the weather and the volcano's accessibility in advance. Follow the path to Aso Grassland and Mount Aso Volcano. However, be aware that if the volcanic activity is too intense, or if the weather is poor, the site may be closed on short notice. Everyone should keep an eye on the official Aso website for daily updates on its status. There's also a charming cafe on the mountain. If the weather is too harsh, you can take shelter and warm up in the cafe.

Fukuoka, the overlooked cute little city in Japan

Played for two days One day shopping in the city, experiencing the special night market and stalls One day to see Aso Volcano and Kikuchi Valley Quiet with fragrance, Fukuoka's fashion is average, not very good to buy, but some children's things are very cute, you can get a discount in department stores The outdoors is really fragrant, used Ctrip's chartered car, the service and everything is very good, saw a bit of change in weather Also proposed another small attraction, very surprised

If you would like to take the helicopter nearby Hong Kong, I believe the one at Aso, Japan fits you. there’s two helicopter tours in the place, we took the one near to Aso, because we can have a look at the Aso volcano on the way. the price is around HKD1,000 for taking the helicopter tour for 10 mins around the volcano, you can have an overview from the top. the helicopter can be seated by two persons only at a time, so we have to take two rides in a total of 4 persons. our kids are allowed on board, they had a great fun on it. i think it’s worth to have the chance in my life. we go there by car as it is convenient for taking kids with us, we dropped off to have a quick lunch while waiting for our turn to get on to the helicopter. having finished the tour, we shopped around their gift shop nearby and had an ice cream there too. suggested to go for the helicopter earlier to avoidthe long waiting, also, they have a lunch break, please take note of this.
