The Daikanbo Lookout over the Mt. Aso region is one of Japan’s greatest sights, looking over the world’s biggest caldera.
The 936m high view of Daikanbo (大観峰) in Aso, Kumamoto gives you a commanding view of the area as well as the “Nehanzo” or Nirvana Buddha, since the mountain contours on the horizon look like a reclining Buddha asleep.
Unfortunately there is no train or public bus access, so renting a car is the most convenient way to reach Daikanbo. Parking is free and you will also find a restaurant and gift shop at the peak. Of course, make sure the weather is clear before going there.
