I didn't have to wait, someone saw me walking with my sign and asked me where I wanted to go.From Nobeoka my goal was Fukuoka but I went step by step and I just told him Kurume.
He took me, and told me he took many hichhikers on that road.
I don't exactly where you wanna stand on that place, but it's a big roadway station so you should be fine. Just don't be afraid to go step by step.

All the cars that goes to the roadway station will pass next to you, and when they'll go back to the road they will pass next to you again.I don't like to stand on the roadway station itself but it might be better, anyway you can decide when you're there, it's really easy to move here :)
I wrote "Hajimemashite :) Kumamoto direction" in Japanese in my sign.
Always have my arm straight and my thumb up.

There is a good number of people climbing the mountain (especially on weekends) and it's fairly easy to hitch back from the parking area near the temple back to Aso town. People will know you are a traveller without a car who just came here to climb the mountain, so they won't have any worries. A tip for climbing: follow the path going left and climb the rocky route to the top first (it is well marked with yellow arrows), make a circle clockwise and make your way down by following the paved route near the old cable car station.―Anonymous

Good spot to get a ride to Mt Aso crater after taking the bus.Only thumb, no sign.
