— Attraction Info —

  • Yonezuka
    Witness the iconic “Yonezuka” image of Aso along the route from Chikusa-ri to Nakadake Volcano. This 50-meter-tall mountain resembles an inverted rice bowl, with legends of rice-piling gods from Aso Shrine aiding the needy. Its appearance earned it the name “rice mound,” and during spring and summer, Mizuka is adorned with lush greenery.
  • Nakadake Crater (When Aso Volcano issues a notice prohibiting entry, the itinerary will be adjusted according to the situation on site)
    Aso Volcano, located in northeastern Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, is a renowned active volcano in Japan, known for its rare caldera landscape. It’s one of the few places where you can observe active volcanoes up close. Peer into the crater and witness continuous eruptions of white smoke.
  • Aso Mountain Kusa Sensato
    Aso Mountain’s Caoqianli is a grassy expanse at the northern base of Mount Wumao, boasting a central pond formed by rainwater and hosting grazing cows and horses. The landscape changes with the seasons, offering a diverse experience year-round. Explore the vast 20,000-hectare grassland, observe the free-roaming livestock, and enjoy the crisp mountain air.
  • Suizenji Chengju Garden (only for Plan A)
    Experience Suizenji Joju-en, situated on the grounds of Suizenji Temple, established in 1632 by Kumamoto’s feudal lord, Hosokawa Tadori. This classic Japanese garden features a natural spring as its focal point. Later, his grandson, Hosokawa Tsunatoshi, recreated segments of the “Fifty-Three Tokaidos,” including a miniature Mt. Fuji and the renowned Edo-Kyoto road. Visitors can enjoy snacks and traditionally brewed Japanese tea in the renowned tea room known as “Between Ancient and Modern Teachings”
  • Fruit Picking in Kumamoto (Plan B only)
    Explore the abundance of fruits near Aso Volcano, providing guests with year-round opportunities for fruit picking. In January, the Aso region celebrates strawberry season, with exceptionally sweet strawberries grown on elevated grounds.
