Highlights
After meeting at the entrance of Aso Station, we start the tour with an introduction to Mt. Aso and our grasslands. Then, on to the gear: we’ll take our bicycles for a test before going our way. Beginners are welcome too, must you need help for the bicycle’s use, your guide will explain everything. No need for extreme bicycling skills, as they are electrically assisted! From the bottom of the caldera at Aso Station, at about 500 meter above sea level, to the Aso Nakadake crater (elevation 1,300m), there is an elevation difference of 800m. (2600ft) You then get to enjoy the best views of the mount Aso crater. Going back down, the caldera opens up in front of you. Aso's magnificent nature awaits you here. We’ll end our tour at the entrance of JR Aso Stn, unless you booked a ride to your accommodation. We can also guide you to a hot spring after the tour to unwind and relax in the caldera. *You can leave your luggage with us, so you can enjoy the grasslands of Aso at ease.

About Aso
Aso is a city in Kumamoto Prefecture, central Kyushu, set inside the vast Aso caldera around the active volcano of Mount Aso.
The Aso caldera is one of the largest in the world, and its floor is a broad plain of farms and villages inside high rim walls. Mount Aso's central cones are still active, and their smoke can be seen from across the caldera. Aso Shrine, an old shrine dedicated to the mountain's gods, stands in the town.
Top-ranked sights in Aso: Kusasenri, Aso Shrine (Aso-jinja), Daikanbo Lookout.
