Highlights

First stop: Kamishiro-mi Kumanoza Shrine This is the original location of "Firefly Forest"! Walk through the 260 mossy stone steps, and the sacred beams of sunlight penetrating the cedar forest are amazing! The best photos are taken in the early morning mist! In summer, remember to wear a light-colored long skirt and bring mosquito repellent spray.

Second stop: Mount Aso Crater You can stand in the crater of Mount Aso! Feel the heartbeat of the earth in the sulfur smoke (if you are lucky, you can see the blue-green volcanic lake).

The third stop: Kusasenri-no-Hama This is a healing ranch at the foot of the volcano! If you have enough time, you can experience horseback riding on the grassland + drone aerial photography (the wavy grassland is super shocking).

Stop 4: Kurokawa Onsen Village. How can a day trip be complete without a hot spring? In the evening, come to Kurokawa Onsen to soak in the hot springs and end the perfect day. There are many open-air hot springs here, each hidden in nature. Soak in the hot spring water and look up at the stars to wash away your fatigue. You can also try the "Hot Spring Tour Card" to soak in several hot springs in one day. It's super worthwhile and fun!
