#Must-See Tourist Spot Aso Fuen Observation Park 1811-1 Kurokawa, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Closed on Saturdays and Sundays An observation deck located 1 km from the crater. The observation deck uses lava for its outer frame and seating, and even when crater viewing is not possible, you can see the rugged plumes of smoke that speak to the active volcano. There are also shops and a bus terminal, making it a very convenient and useful facility. Furthermore, this area was once a major sacred site for praying to Mount Aso (a sacred mountain), and even today, Aso-san Seigandenji Okunoin and Aso-sanjo Shrine are located here, attracting many visitors. Crater viewing is possible on some days and not on others depending on the gas and smoke conditions, so please check the bulletin board when you visit. #KumamotoTourism #Aso #AsoTourism #AsoTravel #KumamotoTravel
