阿蘇登山


阿蘇五岳を中心とする中央火口丘は、観光地として道路網も整備され、気軽に入山できるようになっています。

しかし、五岳西側は易しいコースが多いのに比べて、東側は荒々しい岩稜がそびえ、遭難の件数も多く、万全の整備と経験豊かなリーダーを必要とします。

さらに、高度があるため気温が下がりやすく、降雪雨や霧が多いこと、火山であるため水場が少ないこと、登山道と放牧の牛馬道が入り組み、迷いやすいことなど、注意する点がいくつかあります。

これらのことを充分に検討したプランであれば、阿蘇では家族連れのハイキングから、ハイグレードなクライミングまで、変化に富んだコースを選ぶことができます。

各人の体力や経験に応じて加減して下さい。


Mountain Climbing on Mt. Aso


From the volcanic cones of Mt. Aso, including its five major peaks, walkers and hikers can follow a network of paths leading into the mountains. The trails on the western side of the peaks are relatively easy but the paths on the eastern side follow steep ridges, which should only be tackled by experienced climbers. To prevent accidents, climbers must take safety measures and be accompanied by an experienced guide.


Before beginning your trek, please be aware that due to the altitude, snow, rain, fog and sudden drops in temperature are common. As Mt. Aso is a volcano, there are few places to find water. In addition, the trails often cross grazing lands for cattle and horses, which can be confusing for hikers when they lose sight of the main trail.


Aso offers a range of hiking and climbing options, from family-friendly hikes to challenging courses for experienced climbers. With a little research you will find the perfect trail for your fitness and experience level.
