Mount Aso & Takachiho Gorge Full-Day Cultural Heritage Tour

• Live tour guide: Chinese, English
• Transport: Bus
• Admission: Mount Aso: Located in Kumamoto Prefecture, it is one of the world's largest active volcanoes, with its Nakadake crater still continuously emitting white smoke. Recently, Mount Aso was closed due to a helicopter accident, and the itinerary will be changed to Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine. If the volcano reopens, we will continue to visit the volcano and not go to Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine. We appreciate your understanding., Kusasenri: Located on the northern foot of Mount Aso's Eboshi-dake, it is a vast grassland formed by a volcanic crater. Lunch will be arranged at Kusasenri Restaurant or Takachiho Gorge. The itinerary may be adjusted due to the number of people or weather, and only some attractions will be visited. [Complimentary Aso Shuttle Bus, non-refundable and non-changeable], Kusasenri Restaurant is located on the shores of Kusasenri in Mount Aso, with large glass windows offering panoramic views of the magnificent scenery. The signature dish is Aso Akaushi Donburi (red beef bowl), and you can also enjoy other Kumamoto delicacies such as horse meat sashimi., Takachiho Gorge: Take a small boat through the gorge to experience the magnificent view of the Manai Falls cascading down from the cliff up close. Warm reminder: Boat tours require on-site queuing and reservation, and if the waiting time is long, you may not be able to experience it., Manai Falls: Cascading down the cliffs of Takachiho Gorge, the clear stream and lush green valley create a picturesque scene., Columnar Jointed Rock Wall: Formed by the cooling and contraction of volcanic lava, the stone columns are neatly arranged like a giant pipe organ.
