Mount Aso, Takachiho Gorge, and Kusasenri Day Tour

Itinerary Introduction Mount Aso Crater: Japan’s famous active volcano, boasting a rare caldera topography in the world. It is also one of the few spots where you can view an active volcano up close. If weather permits, you can also see the mysterious crater lake, a dreamlike green-blue, as if from another planet. ⚠️Due to a recent helicopter accident, Mount Aso has been temporarily closed. It will be replaced with a 30-minute visit to Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine. We appreciate your understanding. Kusasenri: Take a leisurely stroll across the grasslands, watch the free-roaming cattle and sheep, and breathe in the fresh mountain air. This will refresh your mind and body, giving you the illusion of being in a fairyland. You can take a leisurely walk, experience horseback riding (at your own expense), or simply sit on the grass and quietly daydream. This place is truly therapeutic. Takachiho Gorge: Row a small boat to admire the “Manai Falls,” experiencing the beauty and grandeur of nature; you can also stroll along the walking path to appreciate unique landscapes such as “Giant Rocks and Sacred Bridges”; furthermore, you can watch the “Takachiho Kagura” to experience Japanese culture and the world of mythology.

Enjoy a wonderful day. At the end of the tour, you will be dropped off at the meeting point or your hotel.
