Take in the view at Daikanbo, an observation area within the national park.

An onsite visitor center introduces the area, the significance of the view, and includes a restaurant serving light refreshments. To reach the observation platform, travel by car and use the onsite parking lot, or drop by as part of a longer walk through the national park.

へこんだカルデラ低地と外輪山が一望でき、対比が雄大に見える。また中央の火口丘も見えるので天気が良ければ一見する価値があり。 more »

雄大の一言につきます。信州贔屓の私は車山高原好きですが、阿蘇の雄大さにはかないません。絶景を堪能しましょう。無料駐車場、トイレあります。阿蘇はどこもそうですが、風がよく抜けます。体温とられないように気をつけてください。 more »

Majestic Word will. Kurumayama Kogen Shin in favor I like, but not to the grandeur of the ASO. Soak up the scenery. Free parking and toilets. So is ASO the wind comes out well. Please be careful body temperature taken.

高校の修学旅行以来の訪問です。景色は変わりなく子どもから高齢者まで幅広い層で感動を味わえると思います。天気が良かったのは今回も最高でしたが、とにかく360°のパノラマが言葉に尽くせない絶景。阿蘇の外輪山が見渡せ、自然の雄大さを堪能できました。山の上には高い木が生えていないので地形の美しさが際立っています。一度は見たい景色の最上位です。ぜひ行ってみてください。 more »

It is a high school field trips since. I think it is ideal at the layer change, ranging from children to the elderly. Weather was good, was best at this time, but anyway indescribable panoramic views 360 ° views. Overlooking the caldera of ASO, now enjoy the grandeur of nature. So not high tree grows on the top of the mountain stands out the beauty of the terrain. It is at the top of the scenery once. Please try to go.
