Let me share with you the places of interest I so much enjoyed. Many of them are what I showed to my guests while working as an English-speaking tour guide with national license. Also try my former site (http://blog.goo.ne.jp/jasmine-rosemary) or find me on facebook (jasmine nakai).

Active Mt. ASO
Smoky crater!
One of the craters on Mt. ASO is active, which often makes the aerial cable service stop, usually connecting the lower station next to a large parking lot and the upper station near the crater. As the phot suggests, it was a clear crisp day, ideal to view the peaks, sommas, and caldera basin. But of course the cable did not work at least for a while and visitors were not allowed to go to the closest area to the crater when it worked. This photo was taken from the area called KUSA SENRI, now a grassy field but once a crater. The life cycle of the active crater is pretty much predictable and that's why tourists are allowed to go to the crater area when the gas situation is tolerable. Try your good luck and go for Crater No. 1, the only active crater of Mt. ASO.
