Hiking time is an estimate for an average hiker, without breaks.

This out-and-back route climbs Mount Kishima from the Kusasenri East Trailhead, circles the summit crater rim, and returns. A maintained path from the Aso Volcano Museum reaches the summit in about 40 minutes, while the crater-rim circuit looks down on the large and small craters and the Aso caldera landscape.
