Itinerary

  • 08:00 Meet at the Shinkansen Gate of Kumamoto Station and depart

<span class='tour-time'><strong>09:30</strong></span>  Arrive at the Daikanbo Observatory, the highest point of the Aso Five Mountains. Hike up to the observation deck and get a 360-degree panoramic view of the magnificent landscape of the Aso volcanic group. If the weather is fine, you can also see the green mountains in central Kyushu. Remember to use your camera to freeze this "walking path in the sky".

<span class='tour-time'><strong>11:30</strong></span>  Go deep into the Takachiho Gorge, the sacred place where the "Goddess of Heaven" descends in Japanese mythology. Walking along the canyon trail, the towering columnar rock walls and emerald streams form a natural painting. The 17-meter-high Manai Waterfall cascades down from the cliff, and you can almost hear the whispers of the gods in the mist.

  (Optional: You can choose to experience the canyon boat cruise. Take a canoe and slowly row into the depths of the canyon. Reach out and touch the splashing water of the waterfall, and feel the cool mist on your face. At this moment, nature and legend blend here. The cost is at your own expense)

<span class='tour-time'><strong>15:30</strong></span>  Visit Kumamoto Castle, one of the three most famous castles in Japan. Look up at the black and white castle tower, and the mottled stone walls tell the legend of the castle built by the Warring States general Kato Kiyomasa. If you have enough time, you can enter the castle at your own expense and experience the exquisite design of the "Warrior Return" stone wall up close. You can disperse here by yourself.
