Important notice! the cable car was destroyed in previous earthquake, and it's still not reopened in Dec2018. You may either drive or take the shuttle bus there. Really stunning experience to get close to the volcano. This is a real and natural volcano so do not expect excitement in universal studio or Disneyland.

The route to Mt Aso is scenic and amazing The steaming active Mt Aso is an amazing sight
It's cool I'm lucky to see the eruption!
The ropeway still isn't operation but they have a bus that goes to the caldera when weather permits. I went twice once it was foggy and the other time it was sunny. Even with the fog it was a super interesting experience, but for seeing the mountains and volcano it's better to go on a clear day. Try to find out before you go if it's possible to go to the caldera. Also a taxi tour isn't bad up the mountain. It's about 4000 yen an hour and you can stop to take pictures along the way, then take a bus back to the station. There are also a few run down buildings.
Mt. Aso in Kumamoto prefecture of southern island (Kyushu) of japan is one of the active volcano in the japan. The mountain has active volcanic cretor which can seen on someday when sulpher emissions are less. On the day of my visit sulpher emissions was a bit more so could not see till the bottom. How to reach: Private tour, Car or Bike. I went by a rental car. To reach the cretor by personal vehicle you need to pay toll of 800 円. What to expect: The Mt. Aso super ring is the base from where you can a take bus for actual cretor. Since its a volcano so there is not much vegitation but from the cretor the surrounding view is awesome. Car and Motorcycle parking available at the Aso super ring. There is a small restaurant also. Precautions: If you have high blood pressure or Asthama please be careful before going to the cretor. Please check the live status on the website before visiting. Have a nice trip
