Clear the Aso Local Quiz and earn the Aso Local title. Want to know Aso even better, or already confident? The tougher courses are next.

People live on the floor of a caldera here. Trains run through it, cattle graze it, fields fill it. This quiz begins with that improbable fact and follows it outward: into the grasslands kept open by controlled burning and grazing, the food culture of basashi and takana pickles, Aso Shrine with its spring-fed shopping street, the valley line of the Minamiaso Railroad, and the daily wisdom of living beside an active volcano under constant watch. The scenery is vast, but the quiz is really about the human hands that have maintained it for a thousand years. Circle the outer rim in your mind, and start walking from the first rank.
