The Aso Boy! train is a charming and comfortable way to travel between Mount Aso and Kumamoto, featuring huge windows for scenic views and a slow transition from countryside to city. It's covered by the JR Pass, but you should reserve seats early as it fills up fast. The creator rode it in reverse (Aso to Kumamoto) and found it to be a great experience.
