Hi, I’m Tabi!

Experience Aso through an outer-rim viewpoint and volcanic grassland. Plan transport to the two places separately and check fog, wind, road restrictions and return services first.

This guide covers places within Aso, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

Rain and fog near the top of Daikanbo, 201701

A first-visit stop

Daikanbo

大観峰

This outer-rim viewpoint looks across the caldera toward Aso’s mountains. The rainy, foggy 2017 photograph is a reminder that distant views are not guaranteed. Keep to public paths and avoid edges in strong wind or poor visibility.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

A first-visit stop

Kusasenrigahama

草千里ヶ浜

Grassland spreads across an old volcanic crater. The 2011 photograph shows the grassland and Mount Eboshi from the volcano museum side. Check road, parking and volcanic notices and respect fences and guidance around horses and grazing areas.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

The tourism association highlights Akaushi beef as a regional food. Cuts and preparations, including rice bowls and grilled dishes, vary by shop. Ask each establishment about Aso-origin ingredients, current menus and reservations.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
