#VisitFukuoka Mt. Aso is the largest volcano in the world. It is still an active volcano, with smoke billowing out for visitors to admire. Mount Aso has several craters, but the most accessible is Mount Nakadake. The surrounding area of ​​Mount Aso is stunning, with green turf surrounding the volcano, giving it a truly Japanese countryside feel. Horses and cows are seen grazing in the pastures. To get to Aso, you can purchase a bus ticket from the train station to Mount Aso. There are also various parking spots where visitors can enjoy the surrounding scenery. For those who want to experience horse meat and see the volcano, we recommend visiting here. For a truly memorable experience, you can also take the Aso Boy train. #Mt.Aso

If you've been to Japan a few times and feel like you know the country quite well, I think you should try going south.

Kyushu gave me a very different feeling about Japan.

The first time I saw pictures of Takachiho Gorge, I had a feeling: I absolutely had to go there.

And when I actually set foot in Kyushu, I realized that the most attractive thing about this place wasn't just the scenery.

It was the feeling of a more liberal, open Japan, less constrained by familiar rules. The pace of life was also more relaxed. And the nature… was truly breathtaking.

Kyushu is a geological area with many active volcanoes, so it has mountain ranges, gorges, lakes, hot springs, and magnificent landscapes created by millions of years of Earth's movement.

Mount Aso (Kumamoto Prefecture) and Sakurajima (Kagoshima Prefecture) are two of Japan's most active volcanoes.

Thanks to its intense volcanic and geothermal activity, Kyushu also accounts for approximately 35% of Japan's total hot spring (onsen) sources, with famous hot spring towns like Beppu and Yufuin.

Much of the island is covered by hills and giant caldera formations created after ancient eruptions.

In particular, it's a land steeped in Japanese mythology. There are places where you can not only admire the scenery but also feel like you're stepping into an ancient tale.

Initially, I planned to use the Seishun 18 Kippu pass to explore Kyushu by local trains, traveling through different regions. However, after researching, I discovered that the most beautiful places in Kyushu are often not located near train stations or with convenient public transportation.

The Takachiho Gorge, mountainous areas, valleys, and volcanic landscapes are often located deep within nature, requiring additional local buses or taxis for transportation, making it quite complicated. Therefore, I chose a day tour with private transportation.

If you're looking for a more unique Japan than Kyoto, Tokyo, or Osaka, try Kyushu. You might discover a Japan you've never known before.
