Seeing the crater of an active volcano is what might come to mind when you think about visiting Aso. But Aso offers a lot more than that. It has a world-class caldera with people living inside it, grassland maintained for thousands of years, alongside a wealth of spring water and onsen. To feel close to the majestic landscape and experience the local life and culture, why don't you take time and explore Aso area on foot?
