  • Menu changes cannot be accommodated on the day of your visit.
  • ※On August 14, 2026, the eruption alert level for Mount Aso was raised to 3 (entry restricted). Consequently, an area approximately 2km from the Nakadake First Crater is off-limits, making it impossible to visit the Aso Nakadake Crater or stop at the Aso Sanjo Terminal. Therefore, during the entry restriction period, the itinerary will be changed to disembark at the "Kusasenri Aso Volcano Museum Mae Bus Stop," which is outside the restricted area.

Review for: Aso Day Trip Tour

Board at bus stop #6 at the Sakuramachi Bus Terminal. Make sure to line up at the bus itself, not towards the airport. The schedules are clearly marked. Just show your voucher to the driver. The driver calls out names at the first stop, which is reassuring. Visiting Mount Aso and Kusasenri in the summer is amazing. The temperature peaks at 27 degrees Celsius, making it very cool and pleasant. Highly recommended!

A great itinerary for those who don't want to research transportation or join a tour group. It's super convenient, just follow the schedule on the itinerary for transportation times.

Review for: Aso Day Trip Tour

There is a problem that you have to move on your own because there is no guide, but if you usually like to travel, this is not a problem at all. Also, you don't have to move exactly as written on the voucher. Since you are moving with a ticket that has already been issued, it is okay to use a bus ticket for the same route at a different time! Also, since this trip is greatly affected by the weather, you need to be careful.

Convenient and simple, but the time spent in Aso was too short, not enough to visit Aso Shrine. I hope it can be extended a little to see more scenery

The itinerary is clear, the transportation arrangements are also good, and the driver is friendly and polite. I was very excited when I saw the active volcanoes Cao Qianli and Aso in Liaochou! 😊

I really like the itinerary. In addition to the long distance and great value for money, I don’t need to do any homework and just set off! Awesome! I like it very much

Review for: Aso Day Trip Tour

Not bad. Depending on the weather conditions, sometimes the weather is too bad so you don’t have to go up to the crater and you can’t see what you want to see. The lunch environment is good and delicious.

Review for: Aso Day Trip Tour

Basically, you just follow the arranged time to take a ride, and the price is basically the same as buying it yourself. It’s just that there’s less brainstorming to make arrangements, and you don’t have to take the ride yourself without a tour guide. Spending nearly three hours in Kussenri was a bit too long, and then it was only an hour and a half to get to Aso Train Station. It was a pity that we didn’t have enough time to go to Aso Shrine and there wasn’t much to see nearby, but overall Quite convenient.

Although there is no tour guide, all the tickets have been arranged. Basically, there is no problem getting on the bus at the recommended time. It's just that sometimes there are a lot of people waiting for the bus, so you need to line up early. The lunch is the beef burger meal, which is delicious and has a high CP value.

Review for: Aso Day Trip Tour

Because there is no tour guide this time, we go to the bus station and take the bus to various attractions on our own. Tickets to the Aso Crater are not included. You need to purchase them yourself. However, we will not know until the day whether it is possible to get close, so it is understandable that it is not included.
