    For me this part is difficult but for experienced hikers, I think this is only moderate. The way up to Zenganzan is not for those who are completely inexperienced. Zenganzan is fun anyway. The difficulty is really out o...

    Long and demanding loop, between sulphur and rain clouds. Running it took me about 3h; fast hiking would be like 5h; normal around 6 or 7. Much better on a sunny day, but it's hard to tell when that will occur. The slope...

    Quick hike up& down. You can get a good view of the area & the topography. But, if you are in good shape, skip this and head up to Suna-Senri Route to over look the crater more clearly.

    Take the 10:30 am bus from Aso station to the mountain. You can either get of at the last station (as this trail dictates) or at the museum and start your hike there. It is a rather straightforward hike to the top, but...

    Several peaks to explore if you start bright and early. The ridge trail can get slippery in paths if there is rain. Most of the summits involve traversing sections of loose rock.
