Aso’s caldera is about 25 kilometres across and some 50,000 people live inside it, something you only grasp from the rim. Tours often join the crater with Takachiho Gorge over in Miyazaki, a long day but a sensible one.
See Aso’s volcanic country, Kusasenri grassland and Takachiho Gorge on a long day trip from Fukuoka, with an optional rowboat ride.
