Japan day 20 and 21

Mt. Aso,

Our trip was nearing its end only a few more city's to go, but one more spectacle of nature was awaiting for us known as Mount Aso. This mountain was near Beppu as I pointed out Beppu was full of onsen, and places where a lot of natural heated water is one could also figure that volcano's would be abundant. We went up part of the volcano with bus, and walked to the top. The weather was not great so a lot of mist :( but the big clouds of steam could not be missed. This was like a "ultra hell spring"

The volcano could not be enjoyed as much as I anticipated until we walked the entire way down back to our Shinjuku. The grass was supergreen and fast changing landscape as we descended was really nice. Everything was perfect part from a tiny bit of rain and the ROTTEN EGG SMELL, RAaaaaaaaaaaaarh oh my god that was horrible. You could not only smell it but taste it in the back of your mouth :( So for those that want to visit the volcano bring along sweets to get rid of the taste ;).

Well part from the breathtaking scenery not much to talk about. The public onsen was fun because not many non Asian venture there :)
