About
The Aso-Kuju National Park was established in 1934. The major features of this park are Mt. Aso standing tall in the massive caldera, a group of volcanoes stretching in its north such as Kuju Mountain Range, and majestic and gentle grasslands spreading around them. In the vicinity of Mt. Aso in the south of the park, a series of magnificent and breathtaking scenery including a fuming crater of Mt. Nakadake, a beautiful volcanic cone of Komezuka, vast Kusaseringahama Beach, surrounding crater basins, and a somma can be appreciated. In addition, solfataric phenomena can be found all over the central region of the park. Other highlights are distinctive views of volcanoes scattered around, extensive grasslands such as Kuju Highland and Handa Highland, and academically valuable moors such as Tadewara Moor and Bogatsuru Moor.

Great view of smoking craters of a live volcano which last erupted two years ago! Check out the website before going in case certain routes are closed

I got a chance to explore this as part of the Kyushu SEVEN STAR Train Tour. We spent only half a day but the landscape and views we're very unique and they were building a new tourist area with modernized facilities.
This is an active volcano and the hot springs around it are really nice! The food - AMAZING! The fertile grounds have provided this area with some of the best vegetables and the grazing for cattle and other livestock is excellent. They've a good life here on Mt. Aso. Spending a slow day here is highly recommended.

I went to Kumamoto because Aso had a good reputation. There were so many things to see that two days was not enough. I climbed Mount Aso, but Daikanbo was the most memorable. I was impressed by the scale of the caldera. I could understand how it was clearly hollowed out. This national park also includes the Kuju mountain range, Takachiho if you want to learn about mythology, and Kurokawa Onsen and Yufuin if you want to take a dip in a hot spring. All of these places can be reached in about half a day if you have a car. Aso Kuju National Park is full of attractions. Next time I would like to make sure I have enough days to visit.
