After meeting at the entrance of Aso Station, we start the tour with an introduction to Mt. Aso and our grasslands.
Then, on to the gear: we’ll take our bicycles for a test before going our way.
Beginners are welcome too, must you need help for the bicycle’s use, your guide will explain everything. No need for extreme bicycling skills, as they are electrically assisted!
From the bottom of the caldera at Aso Station, at about 500 meter above sea level, to the Aso Nakadake crater (elevation 1,300m), there is an elevation difference of 800m. (2600ft)
You then get to enjoy the best views of the mount Aso crater. Going back down, the caldera opens up in front of you. Aso's magnificent nature awaits you here.
We’ll end our tour at the entrance of JR Aso Stn, unless you booked a ride to your accommodation.
We can also guide you to a hot spring after the tour to unwind and relax in the caldera.
*You can leave your luggage with us, so you can enjoy the grasslands of Aso at ease.

What to expect
In the great nature of the Aso Kuju national park without exhaust gas or noise, you can feel the heartbeat of Aso's earth and the wind of the grasslands.
Even travelers who have come to Aso many times will be surprised on this tour.
Most of them say, "This is the first time I've seen such a spectacular view of Aso."
Climb up to the Aso Nakadake crater at 1260m high through the road called "kusa no michi", or the "weeds' road" which was once a path for mountain ascetics, and get up close to the crater emitting smoke.
If you are not confident in your physical strength, the electric motor will provide powerful assistance, so you can participate comfortably and with ease.
