Suizenji Jojuen Garden: In the garden, where the underground waters of Mt. Aso quietly bubble up, there is a Noh theater and the Kokin Denju no Ma, which was moved here from the Kyoto Imperial Palace in 1912. You can take a leisurely stroll around the garden, admiring the artificial hills, pine trees and other sights centered around the pond.

Aso Nakadake Crater: The Aso Caldera, with its rugged lava rock surface, is one of the world's largest, stretching 18km east to west and 25km north to south. Of the five Aso mountains (Nekodake, Takadake, Nakadake, Eboshidake, and Kishimadake) that stand in the center of the caldera, Nakadake is the one that continues to be the most active to this day.
