阿蘇の中でも超人気のスポットで皆さんの口コミからも素晴らしい景色が見られるのだろうと予想して行きましたが期待をはるかに上回る雄大な風景で思わず絶句しました。360°の大パノラマでぐるっと壮大な外輪山と阿蘇五岳を見渡せることができまるで天空にいる鳥にでもなったような感覚です。こんな景色は今まで見たことがありません。この感覚は一部を切り取った写真では絶対に伝えきれないと思います。 more »

In the magnificent landscape views seen in hot spots from your mouth in ASO I went expecting well above expectations I was speechless. In 360 ° panoramic round up and always looks in the sky, overlooking the magnificent Caldera and ASO 5 Gaku bird feels like it is. Never seen such a sight. I think this feeling is I can't say absolutely with a piece cut out pictures.

阿蘇の外輪山や世界のカルデラを体感できるスポットです。駐車場も無料で、阿蘇の大自然を見ることができ、3月初めまでは、ススキのような草に覆われた枯れ草のような雰囲気を楽しめ、3月初めの山焼きあとは、一面真っ黒と焦げ茶色の景色になり、6月になると一面新緑の美しい緑になり、1年を通して、その表情を楽しめるのが、良いところです。 more »
