Mount Aso (阿蘇山, Asosan) is an active volcano in the center of Kyushu which most recently erupted in October 2016 but has since calmed down again. Aso's ancient caldera ranks among the world's largest, with a diameter of up to 25 kilometers and a circumference of over 100 kilometers. In the center of the caldera stand the mountain's active volcanic peaks, including Mount Nakadake, shown in this photo.

Due to increased volcanic activity at the time of our visit, a no-entry zone was currently maintained and resulted in the closure of the ropeway, road and hiking trails to the crater. Still, from a distance, we were able to witness this rare display of nature's power.

Kusasenri (Kusasenri Plateau, 草千里ケ浜) is one of the most iconic sceneries in Kumamoto Prefecture. It is a vast grassland plateau with grazing cows and horses, as well as a commanding view of Mt. Eboshi (in the background) and the currently active Mt. Naka (far left of photo, with dark billowing smoke). Pampas grass have already covered most of the area signaling the coming of autumn.

"Everything is good, with the exception that the Carpark entrance is quite narrow to enter. "

"I absolutely loved staying here! The onsen was perfect after a day of driving. The style of the hotel is really cool, and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Motorbike parking was available and the room was comfy and warm. It's a short walk into town, but nothing too difficult. "
