Overview

Mt. Aso is an active volcano, and the area is a national park.
If the volcano is not erupting, we can take our bus to the crater.
There are also optional activities in the vicinity.

You don't have to navigate your way using public transport.
We are very familiar with the area and our private bus will help you save time and visit many places.

“DISCOVER FAR WEST IN FAR EAST” From (or to) Fukuoka Japan,
our private chartered bus will support your journey.

Mount Aso is the heart of Kyushu, located in the middle of Kyushu,
the western island nation of Japan. The volcano is still active.

It is a very popular place in Kyushu from spring to autumn,
which is said it can ease daily life's stress.

Accessible from Fukuoka, it is ideal for outdoor groups as well.

*Depending on the eruption situation, you may not be able to get close to the crater of Mt. Aso.
In that case, please enjoy your free time at Kusasenri.
