Access depends on volcanic activity and local safety rules; the tour will take you to the best available viewpoint and the Aso Volcano Museum if direct access is restricted.
The tour is family-friendly and described as physically easy, but infants must sit on laps and the operator advises against participation for pregnant travelers or those with certain health issues.
