The Aso Nakadake Crater towers over one of the world's largest calderas. After viewing the dynamic scenery of the crater, actively spewing smoke, head to Kusasenrigahama, a grassland at 1,100 meters above sea level at its base. Enjoy the idyllic scenery symbolizing Aso, interwoven with two ponds and grazing horses. Enjoy lunch at Aso-no-Sato Kugino, where you can choose your own menu in a location with a panoramic view of the five peaks of Aso. In the afternoon, head to the mystical Takachiho Gorge. Stroll through the beautiful valley with its steep cliffs and emerald-green waters. Afterward, experience the world of myth by visiting Amano-Iwato Shrine, where legend has it that Amaterasu Omikami hid herself, and Amanoyasugawara, a mystical cave where eight million gods are said to have gathered.
