Walking through the Aso Caldera, Historical Walk along the "Bungo Kaido"
Description
Aso's knowledgeable guides will take you on an easy-to-understand and enjoyable tour of the Aso Caldera from its birth to the present, from the perspectives of volcanoes, geology, history, culture, and beliefs. By walking down the stone-folded path that descends the northern outer rim of the mountain and entering the caldera on your own, you can really feel the size of the caldera, one of the largest in the world. You can also enjoy spots related to the history, culture, and beliefs of Aso, where people have lived in the caldera for over 2,000 years. On the way, we will have a tea time with yogurt and sweets grown in the grasslands of Aso.

Thank you so much for taking us to explore around! We feel so blessed to enjoy the beauty in Aso. Look forward to visiting there again.✨✨
Thank you for joining our tour. We were worried about the weather on the day, but it seems the Aso gods were on your side. You were satisfied, and both our guide Kana and I felt relieved. We value our friendly relationship with the people of Taiwan. As you are close by, we hope that you will join us again in different activities in different seasons and enjoy Aso.
We enjoyed walking through the woods and learning local history with gorgeous views of Mt Aso with our guide Kanna. She is very kind and knowledgeable.
Thank you very much for joining our tour！ I was really happy to hear that you enjoyed walking and seeing local people's life and history. I am looking forward to walking again with your family:D
Very nice walk, the guides are extremely kind and helpful. Interesting experience. Better to end it with a brief visit of Aso's crater, as we did.
Thank you very much for joining our tour. We are glad to hear that you were satisfied with our tour. Aso has both seasonal nature and unique festivals and culture, so please come and visit us at your leisure.
It was good to be in touch with the nature and history of Aso. It was an experience I could not have had on my own. I enjoyed walking while listening to the unique local stories about the sleeping Buddha, and I would like to participate again. The guide's explanations and the scenery are good, so I think the tour would have been great if only the weather had been better.
