Wake up early, check out from the accommodation, head up to Mt. Aso. On the way up the mountain, the vibe is very good, very beautiful. Drive according to the map, continue up, you will stop the car and park the first car. We will stop to buy souvenirs or gifts here (clean bathroom)
Or you can drive up to the second parking spot near the crater. But before going up, there will be a sign indicating the current danger level and whether the road is closed. When you reach the second parking spot before walking in, there will be a sign indicating the sulfur status, green or red.
What is the meaning of the word?
The roadside restaurant we found on the way down from the mountain. The food was delicious. The restaurant is a local style. The cooks are family-run. There are only a few dishes. We ordered all of them. I have to say that everything was delicious. After we were full, we headed to the hotel where Kumamon was staying.

Hotel Review: There is no parking, you have to rent a parking space in that area (costs money). I recommend searching on Google first to see where to park. The closest parking lot is Time Auto : The room is clean, no cigarette smell, the price is not expensive, averaging 2000 baht per room.
The hotel is located next to the market. Sun Road Shin Shigai shopping arcade It is a source of food, liquor stores, department stores, and shops selling various things. There are many cheap products, such as cosmetics and creams.
At first, we were going to go to a pub but there was an age restriction. There were children in our group so we missed out. So we ate at a shabu buffet restaurant. The price per person was around 1000 baht. You could eat unlimited chrysanthemum tea with bubbles. The beef and pork were very good. I can't remember the name of the restaurant but it was on the 2nd floor. When you walk into the market, it was on the left. There was a sign downstairs telling you to go up. After we were full, we stopped to buy chrysanthemum tea from a 7-Eleven near the hotel and went up to our room. That was the end of another day.
