PurposeSightseeing

Until now, the only ways of transportation from Aso to Takachiho was by rental car or taxi, which was inconvenient. Moreover, it took about 1 hour and 15 minutes one way by car, which was a hassle. Now that the new air station has been opened in Aso and Takachiho, it has become very convenient. Aso Heliport has a shuttle service, so we were able to go smoothly after getting off the helicopter.

My wife and I used this service from Takachiho to Aso. After spending Ryokan Shinsen and Takachiho gorge, we took the helicopter to Aso. From Shinsen, the staff took us to Tachiho Heliport by shuttle. It was convenient and comfortable.
