Ichinomiya-machi Teno & Kunizukuri Shrine Day Trip (Aso)

Take a leisurely stroll through the 2000-year-old Teno settlement, surrounded by clear spring water, abundant greenery, and fresh air. The soothing sound of flowing water is sure to be healing. This rural area retains the original scenery of Japan. Visit Kumamoto's oldest shrine and popular power spot, "Kokusou Shrine," listen to the mythical stories of the shrine's origin, offer a sincere prayer, and then see the giant natural monument, "Teno Osugi Tree."

Enjoy a handmade, healthy meal made with locally grown ingredients in a rustic farmhouse restaurant. Escape the crowds, slow down, unwind, and spend a relaxing half-day.
