Stand on the brink of Nakadake and peer into the smoking chasm of the active Aso Volcano - a testament to the raw and untamed power of nature. Finally, visit Kurokawa Onsen mountain town, home to around 30 hot spring inns. Here, you have the option to select an inn for a hot spring experience. Alternatively, take a leisurely stroll through the hot spring town to absorb the bucolic atmosphere.
