Mt. Aso level 1 2017/2/11 06:15
Hi i just see the announcement here
http://www.kyusanko.co.jp/aso/lang_en/

it said that now the level is reduced from level 2 to level 1 but due to maintenance is required for a certain period, Aso Ropeways suspension will be continued.

So, does it mean that now we can go the the top of the creator
, but the only left problem is just only fixing the ropeway?

if the only problem is just only maintenance, how long dose it take to fix the ropeway? less than 4 week or more than 4 week ?

No, there is still a 1-km no-entry zone. All the infrastructure around the crater needs some major repair. Not just the ropeway, but also the street leading there, the buildings, emergency shelters and and the walking paths.

if the only problem is just only maintenance, how long dose it take to fix the ropeway? less than 4 week or more than 4 week ?

Definitely more than 4 weeks. This is how the ropeway looks now:

As said, you can't get near the crater. It's been like that for over 2 years now, so don't hold your breath on the current policy changing in the near future.

A visit to Mount Aso can still be highly impressive and enjoyable even if you can't get up quite to the crater.
