The fog was dense on the day, yet fortunately it didn't rain. We visited Daikanbo and Aso Volcano Museum, and enjoyed beautiful scenery and learned Aso Caldera. We also visited Minamiaso village which suffered big losses because of the Kumamoto earthquake in 2016. A reciter told us a story of her experience of the disaster.
