Snow in Kyushu...
This is a top pick! ... it off with an unbelievable soak in the hot bath in the evening...pure heaven! A perfect way to end my stay in Aso...or so I thought... Inexplicably, things somehow managed to get even better the next morning, prompting me to delay my long train ...
Aso
Second night in Aso now, beautiful mountain village on the island of Kyushu. Climbed Mount Aso - a live volcano - saw the inside of the crater and its steaming green lake within - amazing. Was out for 8 hours - climbed well over a kilometre vertically ...
The Biggest Volcano Calder in the World
Arrive in Aso-san around 1pm and after a quick lunch we decide to head up to one of the craters - Kijima-Dake which is one of 4 volcanos in the area. The walk up from the bus stop half way up the mountains only takes 45 minutes but it's really steep and ...
A mountain story
... outside talking to the other backpacker, when he comes up to me and hands me two 1000 yen notes. A present for me because of Japan Rail's problems. Now I don't know if this was his money or JR's that he was giving me, but I was ever ...
Volcano Spotting
... so, as we ended up sleeping in the same home stay as Lonely Planet Man, he spent quite a bit of time picking our brains. Aso is not a kicking town - with no real night-life to speak of so after a soak in the wonderful community onsen (hot spring) and ...
ASH: Kyushu Trip
... Safari (cool kangaroos, really lame dog show) before heading to our sweet hotel for the night. The next day, it was Mt Aso, a huge volcanic crater, where, sadly, the rain forced us to spend all our time in a really boring museum rather than taking a ...
Volcano!
Well we tried really hard to see the volcanoes here. The whole area is in one big volcano - 128kms in circumference, the biggest caldera in the world apparently but that erupted a few millenia ago. There are some that are still active in the ...
An active vulcano
Konichi-wa, und viele Gruesse aus Zentral-Kyushu. Ich bin mit dem Zug von der Kueste nach Aso gefahren, ein etwas langsamerer Zug. In Aso gibt es einen der groessten Vulkankrater der Erde und den groessten aktiven Krater der Erde. Habe mich in der ...
Volcano
... was so much fun. At the end of the event, we all got together and said "ganbarre nippon!" Basically translates to raise your spirits Japan! I hope that made it on TV somewhere. Back at the hostel for dinner, everyone ate together. For 300 yen we had udon, ...
Hostal en el Monte Aso
12 Julio 2009 - Llegada a la zona de Aso La idea para hoy era ir a la zona montanosa de Aso a ver la caldera y varios volcanes, pero la combinacion de trenes no era muy buena. Cuando llegamos eran las 4 de la tarde y ya no habia autobuses siquiera para ...
Onsen pod Asom
... Prepadnutie sposobi nadmerny ubytok materialu pod sopkou po vybuchu, ktora uz nie je schopna udrzat svoju vahu. Sucasne Aso vzniklo pravdepodobne ako vysledok styroch obrovskych vybuchov pred 90-300 tis. rokmi. Odhady objemu vyvrhnuteho ...
Day 12 - Aso-san
The plan was to wake up at 6:30 to get the first express train to Aso-san (an active volcano between Kumamoto and Beppu). Oh well, so much for that. We got a local train as far as Hijo-oozu, a farming town in the middle of nowhere it seemed. Dave and I ...
Im Vulkan
Es gibt einige gute Gründe, um Japan einen Besuch abzustatten. Sei es wegen dem Essen, der Kultur oder wegen der einzigartigen Natur. Zu letzterem gehören auch die Vulkane, die genauso wie die heissen Quellen, und das ist kein Zufall, überall im ...
Volcan en Aso y viaje a Nagasaki
... el monte de Komezuka, que tiene forma conica. Segun la leyenda, la perfeccion del crater se debe a que los dioses de Aso estaban recogiendo arroz y necesitaban donde almacenarlo. Por esta razon, al crater se le llama el "bol de arroz". Esta totalmente ...
Aso-san prefecture, Japan
Aso-san, yks parhaimmista retkista Japanissa. Mentiin siis paivaretkelle Aso-san tulivuorelle mika on edelleen aktiivinen.. Tuntu vahan vaaralliselta mut samaan aikaan ne niin sanotut vartijat oli aika tarkkoja jos tuulen suunta vahankin muuttu niin ...
Pohlad do zahmleneho modreho oka sopky
... vysky 1592 mnm. Krater Naka (Nakadake) je relativne lahko pristupny a bol aj cielom nasej cesty. Neboli sme jedini, Aso pritahuje denne mnozstvo turistov, skolske vylety su samozrejmostou. Na vrchol Nakadake vedie novucka platena cesta aj lanovka. My sme ...
Day 12: Amazing Kurokawa onsen and foggy Aso
... a 60 minutes drive to reach Kurokawa ("Black river"), which is a small village nested in the mountains, and very famous all over Japan for its beautiful outdoor hot springs. Actually there are more than 20 ryokans in the city, all of them having their ...
Day 13: Aso volcano, eventually!
... back to the crater, and we could observe the green lake even better than a few hours before. We finally made our way back to the parking lot, and drove back to Aso, and then Kumamoto, tired, suntanned, and very happy to eventually defeat Mt Aso ;-) ...
Der grösste aktive Vulkan in Japan
... . Insbesondere der Naka-Dake, welcher der aktivste ist, zieht scharenweise Touristen an. Dementsprechend ist die Touristeninformation in Aso auch gut ausgerüstet: es gibt Informationsmaterial in Englisch, Chinesisch und Koreanisch. Es würde mich nicht ...
Q&A #1: About Combini and Pocky
... our day by day japanese trip, but tries to put the focus on facts, habits, ways and means, situations... that we encountered in Japan and that surprised us, amused us, let us speechless...etc. For the first post of this kind, let's interest to "combini". ...
1 put, vijf toppen
... kijken steevast onschuldig. Terzijde, de sfeer tussen de Japanners verandert hier al enorm. Hier in Kyushu, het zuidelijkste grote eiland van Japan, zijn ze al heel wat opener, vlotter, brutaler en vooral, luider. 10 november Vijf uren wandelen, tot de de ...
Aso
firstly - appologies for lack of caps - it changes the language! we arrived in aso late afternoon, this is a small town that is located in a huge crater (about 140km circumference) that was formed by one of the biggest volcanic explosions ...
Snow and Mt. Aso
... a couple of snowballs. It was really fun. After checking out of ryokan we started driving up towards Mt. Aso. As we were driving up the winding road, snow started to fall a little bit thicker the further we got ...
Vulkanen, kraters, wolken en bier
... dezelfde dag in Aso arriveerden. Het plan was om de volgende dag met zn allen de berg op te gaan. Maarrrr, het is regenseizoen in Japan en dat is in deze twee dagen goed losgegaan. Mt. Aso was 1 en al wolken en regenbuien en daardoor was het zelfs ...
In hot water
... I was stared at the whole time, probably exacerbated by my tattoos; you aren't really allowed in an Onsen if you have tattoos; in Japan tattoos are only for those in gangs, and girls shouldn't have them at all. But no one asked me to leave, I think ...
Die Reise zum Vulkan
... und dann unbegrenzt auf allen, wirklich allen Linien fahren. Wir haben uns für eine Woche entschieden. Anfangs Mai sind in Japan mehrere Feiertage, die auf einander folgen. Die Japaner nennen diese Woche Golden Week. Und so haben wir geplant, in dieser ...
