[Attraction: Visiting Mt. Naka Caldera] It is one of the largest calderas in the world, measuring 18 km from east to west and 25 km from north to south. Among the five mountains of Aso (Neko-dake, Taka-dake, Naka-dake, Eboshi-dake, and Kishima-dake), Mt. Naka remains active. In the huge caldera with a circumference of 4 km, you can see intense white smoke rising up close, creating a dynamic view. If you cannot visit the crater due to volcanic gas regulations, the time spent at Kusasenri will be extended. [Attraction: Kusasenri-ga-hama] One of Aso's most iconic tourist destinations, a grassland of approximately 1 km. The magnificent scenery is created by Mt. Eboshi in the background and the ponds formed by rainwater. Lush green in summer, fantastically white in winter, and colorful in all seasons.
