Aso trip planner

Formed in 2005 after the merger of several smaller towns, Aso still offers a break from the urbane. The scenery steals the show here, with active volcanoes and mountains forming a dramatic landscape, protected as part of a national park. The crater of the main volcano can be seen at a museum at the top, after a hike or a trip on the ropeway, and its smoking interior represents one of the main things to see during a visit to Aso. The volcanic nature of the area means that you'll find plenty of hot spring resorts outside of Aso.
