Aso

Do you know Mt.Aso??
Mt.Aso is one of the largest caldera in the world. It is an active volcano in the east of Kumamoto prefecture and is a famous sightseeing spot in Japan,so many people visit there.

On May 4th, my mother ,My two sisters and I went to Mt. Aso and Aso farm land . First of all, We went to a crater of Mt.Aso at 10 in the morning. It was a first time for me to saw the crater. I had been to Mt.Aso before, but I couldn't see the crater at that time, because Mt.Aso emitted poisonous gas, so I was glad to see the crater. When I saw it, I thought that it was very beautiful. It was emerald green and it was the most beautiful green color I have ever seen. It was sunny the day, so I felt comfortable. We went there in the morning, so there were few cars, but when we moved to next destination, there were so many cars. After that, we went to Aso Farm Land. We looked at souvenirs there. There were lots of souvenirs related to Aso and Kumamoto. After we saw the main souvenirs, we ate lunch. We had bought some food for lunch the day before, but we bought food there too. I ate deep fried rice ball, charcoal grilled chicken and breads. Then, we went back to our house via my grandmother's house.
I had a very very good day. This trip was something pleasant to look back on.


By the way, do you know this building in the picture. I took this picture near the crater of Mt.Aso.This is used in emergency.


This is a shelter. If Mt.Aso erupt, we can take refuge into it. There are lots of shelter near the crater. I was very suprised at it, because I had not known about it.
