Embark on a journey from Fukuoka, travelling for a couple of hours to reach the Kamishiromi Kumanoza Shrine. This serene location is renowned as the filming site for the movie 'Into the Forest of Fireflies Light'. From there, your journey continues northeast to Aso Volcano, situated in Kumamoto Prefecture on Kyushu Island. This composite volcano, complete with a large caldera, stands as a symbol of Kumamoto and is a sight to behold.
Your adventure doesn’t stop there. Next, you'll discover Kusasenri, a vast grassy plain that offers spectacular views of the volcanically active Nakadake Peak. Amidst this scenic landscape, you'll find a large pond where horses graze peacefully, adding to the charm of this popular feature of the Aso Geopark.When Aso Volcano issues a no-entry notice, the Aso "Thousand-mile" Grassland stop will be changed to 90 minutes. Wether we can get close to the Aso Volcano crater not depends on the weather, but the concentration of gases emitted from the crater of a volcano.
