There are a lot of sightseeing spots in Aso area in Kumamoto Prefecture.
After the disaster of April 2016, public transportation network has been disrupted.
September 2016, public transportation network is in the mid-recovery.
So if you can use a rental car, you can enjoy Aso now.
However, if you would like to move in public transport, it is better to wait till public transportation network recovery.
