Literally thousands of people were visiting the site, ignoring the signage and causing the walk, the road and car park to become a foot and vehicle traffic jam.

One of the 100 famous mountains in Japan, Mt. Aso is truly epic. Being one of Japan's most active volcanoes, it is to be feared as it constantly plumes sulfuric gas that can be deadly. But thanks to its volcanic activity, Mt. Aso has scenery unlike anywhere else in Japan except maybe Mt. Kuju. Filled with lushious green fields, black volcanic deserts and boiling lakes. Mt. Aso is worth the trip.
Some would describe this hike as A.S.O too much volcano or even danger volcano.
