Overview

- Pre-trip notification: The evening before your trip, between approximately 19:00 and 21:00, the supplier will send you detailed guide and vehicle information via email. Please be sure to check it promptly. - On 12/29, due to Kumamoto Castle being closed, the itinerary will change to Suizenji Garden. - Route A: Minami Aso Railway Train - Mount Aso & Kusasenri - Kumamoto Castle - Route B: Minami Aso Railway Train - Mount Aso & Kusasenri - Kurokawa Onsen - [Kumamoto Castle] Step into a historical scroll. Kumamoto Castle, with its unique design featuring Mushagaeshi (warrior-repelling walls) and Honmaru Goten (main keep palace), showcases the essence of Japanese architecture. The cherry blossoms in spring add endless beauty to this ancient castle. The castle, rebuilt after the earthquake, remains full of charm, waiting for you to discover! - [Mount Aso Kusasenri] The boundless grasslands and leisurely cattle and horses will make you forget the hustle and bustle of the city. Strolling through this natural paradise, feeling the fresh air and the tranquility of nature, is a rare pleasure. There's also an opportunity to experience horseback riding, the best way to get close to nature! - [Mount Aso Nakadake Crater] Face the power of nature! Overlook the volcanic eruption from the Mount Aso crater and feel the pulse of the Earth. If the Mount Aso crater is not open, additional arrangements will be made for Daikanbo or Senbazuru Deer Park to ensure a fulfilling journey. - [Minami Aso Railway Train] The train travels through mountains and pastoral landscapes, with the scenery outside the window constantly changing as the journey progresses. Gaze at the majestic Aso Five Peaks in the distance, and observe the layered forests, open fields, and clear streams up close. The magnificent mountain views and tranquil rural scenery of Minami Aso accompany you throughout the journey. - [Kurokawa Onsen] Kumamoto has abundant natural hot spring resources, but few are as famous as Kurokawa Onsen. This mountain town has approximately 30 hot spring ryokans, with retro ryokans in a black-based color scheme neatly arranged, creating a quite stunning landscape.
