When heading to the crater of Asonakadake, a toll of 1,000 yen for a standard car is required.
Also, because volcanic gases flow from the crater, it may be impossible to view or viewing may be restricted depending on the wind direction, so please check the website (link below) in advance.
However, even if viewing is restricted, it may resume if the wind direction changes. When I went, viewing resumed after about an hour.
Also, people with respiratory (lung) diseases, heart diseases, pacemakers, asthma, and those who are in poor health should refrain from viewing the site.
