The Miyama Kirishima azaleas around Mount Takadake are now in full bloom.
Every early summer, the mountain slopes around Aso turn bright pink. The colorful flowers create a beautiful contrast against Aso’s green grasslands and volcanic scenery.
Hikers can enjoy the flowers around Mount Takadake. Because the blooming season is short, this is one of the best times to visit the Aso volcano area.

Weather and natural conditions may affect the flowering period. Therefore, we recommend checking the latest conditions before visiting.
