Instructive

It is a museum about Volcanos, which is located in Kusasenri. On the day I visited, I couldn’t visit the top of Aso due to a fog, so I decided to go this museum instead. It is quite instructive. But...
interesting museum is need for update

The area around the vulcano is closed caused by the present outbrake looking very impressive from the museum. the museum itself needs to be reviewed, pretty dusty.
Educational

They provided audio guided tour in your language. Very educational. Recommended for children. Much better than learning all these in Geography class.
