Paperbark Forest Boardwalk

*** The Paperbark Forest Walk is closed. Reedy Creek Reserve is a small conservation area which unfortunately become overwhelmed by visitors, to the point where the walk, the forest and wetlands were being damaged. Literally thousands of people were visiting the site, ignoring the signage and causing the walk, the road and car park to become a foot and vehicle traffic jam. Please do no attempt to access the boardwalk or enter the reserve. ***

This short trail is an exciting walk for all the family, with stepping stones, boardwalks and water crossings as you meander through a magnificent and picturesque Paperbark Forest.

Mt. Aso (Eboushidake and Kishimadake) + 阿蘇山烏帽子岳杵島岳 (Aso-Kuju National Park, Kumamoto Prefecture)

One of the 100 famous mountains in Japan, Mt. Aso is truly epic. Being one of Japan's most active volcanoes, it is to be feared as it constantly plumes sulfuric gas that can be deadly. But thanks to its volcanic activity, Mt. Aso has scenery unlike anywhere else in Japan except maybe Mt. Kuju. Filled with lushious green fields, black volcanic deserts and boiling lakes. Mt. Aso is worth the trip.

Some would describe this hike as A.S.O too much volcano or even danger volcano.
