I came to Mount Aso expecting to see the spectacular crater up close, but due to an incident, access to the area around the crater was closed that day, so I could only view it from outside the restricted area.
Although I missed the chance to experience the volcanic landscape up close, the vast volcanic terrain was still impressive. The gray-black mountains contrasted sharply with the surrounding green grasslands, making me feel the power of nature. It left me with a little regret, but also gave me a reason to visit Aso again.
