What to expect
This itinerary departs from Kumamoto city center, delving deep into the Kumamoto Aso mountain region to visit niche attractions where nature and culture intertwine. You will first head to the spiritual Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine, experiencing the tranquility of secluded mountain forests; then explore the Nakadake Crater of Mount Aso and the Kusasenri prairie, personally experiencing the震撼 and vastness of the volcanic landscape. The final stop is Kurokawa Onsen, renowned as “Kyushu’s representative hot spring area,” where you can freely stroll, experience the “Nyuto Tegata” (hot spring hopping pass), or enjoy local delicacies.
