6 elections of superb view pretty view spot of the basic to which I'd like to go certainly if I go sightseeing in Aso

Aso where the scenery of the great outdoors spreads and the KUJUU area where it takes pride in a caldera of the world maximum level and is original. Tourist attraction where ancient volcanic large-scale eruption and the natural beauty made during long years for tens of thousands of years from there can be sensed is many. If I have come to Aso, I'll introduce the superb view pretty view spot I'd like to sense sometime.

The scenery of the grand grassland and pond spread in a crater trace

It's designated as national place of scenic beauty and natural monument. The crater trace where a pond is never. Rainwater collects now, and a beautiful pond is being produced.

One of Aso Gogaku and one of typical tourist attractions in Aso spread in the base in Eboshidake (only Asiatic headgear for a court noble). The grand scenery with the prairie spread in a crater trace of about 1 km of diameter and the pond where the rainwater in it collected is charm.
Present and Nakadake where I'm coming into action (only the inside) can judge the scenery which is seen and emits fumes imminently from Aso Gogaku only. When taking a walk through the inside in grassland, natural grandness can be sensed. When having enough room for physical strength, I'll climb piece Mt. Tateyama which is around the center of the grassland and look at a superb view from Parking and a reverse side.

If I go around grassland by a draft horse, it's rest at a cafe and Restaurant.

Draft horse Experience is in horseback riding for about 5 minutes-30 minutes by a course. So only a very quiet horse can be enjoyed by the wide age.

Draft horse horseback riding Experience of "Aso Kusasenri horseback riding club" which rides a horse, and can travel in the grassland slowly (1500-5000 yen/1 person) is also recommended.
If walk is enjoyed, it's to an area on the Parking side. The store where a meal and a gift such as a fashionable coffee store "Kusasenri coffee roast place" and "douce Nucca (DUSUNUKKA" "Kusasenri view Restaurant" and a dirt cow hamburger can enjoy can be enjoyed is standing in a row. In its width, "Aso Volcano Museum". It's possible to see exhibition about growth and crater live relay in a Aso volcano, and it's the spot which can be Aso more conversantly.

"At Kusasenri view" vanity of about 1100 m of altitude at the place where I climbed the stairs from Kusasenri Parking can view 360 times, and is most suitable to take a picture of Nakadake and "Yonetsuka" of national place of scenic beauty and natural monument from Kusasenri. When it's finer, Unzen Fugendake can also be looked around on the other side.

Aso caldera and the superb view spot which can get a bird's-eye view of Aso Gogaku

It was called by a great writer from Kumamoto and Tokutomi Soho "Daikanbo" in 1922. Aso Gogaku called "Nirvana portrait (Nirvana ZOU)" at the front.

The somma where a basin of a Aso caldera where the world takes pride in its eminent scale is circled turning around (GAIRIN ZAN). It's Daikanbo (I don't go, prevent) that it's in the highest peak in the north somma and location of the altitude 936m. The natural view place it's possible to wish for Aso Gogaku who has that in a basin of a caldera and the center on the south side where is one of the view spots which represent Aso.
When I walk along an esplanade for about 5 minutes from Parking, I arrive at a view point into which a mountain projects like a cape. Natural power of Aso is felt by the scenery of the highlights of a great panorama. It's possible to advance more paths in the grassland and go to a way ahead of the back from the view place paved with concrete.

The grand scenery here such as a caldera wall and grand grassland, fully.

Grandness of the caldera wall which was made when a caldera had collapsed formerly, is also a highlight. The form of the person who enjoys a paraglider.

A caldera wall of height 300-500m which towers as well as a view of a Aso valley bird's-eye view are also Tsutomu Osako. The finite grassland looked around is spread in the north side, and the extraordinary scenery which is seen to the JUU mountain range put on is spread in the inside.
The way home from a view place is a little contrary to the esplanade where concrete was paved in the side, and it's also recommended to walk to the grassland while taking a walk through a wrapped path. A meal and gift purchase in Aso and Kumamoto can have the "Daikanbo teahouse" which starts and also enjoy a soft ice cream of local specialty and a frankfurter next to Parking.

The treasure house where Aso is a spring water spot. One of the typical spring water places is Shirakawa water source in the south Aso village. It's also the first-grade river which flows to Kumamoto-shi and a source in Shirakawa (SHIRA KAWA) and takes pride in the rich water inflow as much as 60 tons per minute.
When I go to the back water source, it's a clear pond so that it's startling there! It seems waterless at all and is seen to the bottom of the water, and the state from which spring water springs with POKOPOKO can also be confirmed tightly. An eye is just looking at its state absentmindedly, and also seems to be cleansing a soul.

It's satisfied with gusto of spring water of Aso by drawing water.

The water intake area where a dipper and a funnel were had. It's possible to draw water here (photograph offer: Kumamoto sightseeing union).

The water intake area where you can draw water is also maintained immediately next to the spring water place by Aso. When you make the coffee and the dish as well as the mellow gusto of the water which has just sprung from underground good, there are many people who hold a big container and visit in drawing water periodically from a distant place, too. Even if there are no containers of holdings, there is also plastic bottles sale in the sky at a store in front of the water source, so it's relief.
It's spring water right now around here, making paper, Experience, can, and, there is also a store where the coffee beans put in by spring water can be enjoyed, so it'll be satisfied with charm in Shirakawa water source by the right or wrong whole body.

Curtain of the mysterious water which was chosen as a location place by the commercial and became a topic

The scenery in which water falls widely is mysterious from the big bedrock made by an eruption.
The scenery in which water falls widely is mysterious from the big bedrock made by an eruption.

The pretty view spot in the north in a Aso area and Oguni-machi where I touch Oita (I depend on OGU.) Taki of about 10 m of gap in the interior in a forest is dropping water gracefully like a curtain of water over about 20 m of margin and is producing the beautiful scenery like a painting.
You assume that it's done by big large-scale eruption about 90,000 years before when a caldera of Aso is done, and a heart trembles with preciousness of modeling of the miracle great outdoors produced. Because it was chosen as a TVCM location place by the famous soft drink, it's a topic and is loved by many people as one of the pretty view spots even Aso can't remove in now.

Please see fall imminently and feel a minus ion much.

A hold is bad and wet, and there is a part which tends to be slippery, and a drop of water is also flying much, so it's attention around the fall.

Fall is in Mori who went down stairs and an esplanade for about 5 minutes from Parking. 6 heart-shaped stones hide in a stone pavement on the esplanade, so it's also fun to walk while looking for it.
It's possible to approach fall and when the wind Ochimizu causes and a drop of water are felt, a heart will be healed feeling. Nature will judge the produced graceful and magnificent scenery from an eye and also leave it for photograph.
