Aso Travel Guide: Local Overview, Routes & Budget Tips
Start with the answer: Aso usually works better as one stop in a longer Japan route instead of a standalone stopover. The cheapest route depends on which cities or islands you pair it with, and where to stay depends more on transit timing than scenery. For the full framework, see the Japan country hub.
