1. The Aso sightseeing bus stops at Sakuramachi Bus Terminal, and also at Kumamoto Airport and Aso Station, which is very convenient. 2. There is ample time to visit attractions: Daikanbo, Aso Shrine, and Kusasenrihama. However, due to the recent helicopter accident at Mount Aso, it was unfortunately impossible to go up to the Nakadake crater! 3. The staff on board clearly explained the meeting time and location and recommended restaurants at each location, which was very helpful to travelers. 4. Seating was not freely selectable, which was a bit of a shame. Usually, bus day trips allow first-come, first-served seating, but this time our whole family was assigned to the last row, with a poor view...
