Mount Aso

Mount Aso is home to one of the world's largest active volcanic calderas, with the dramatic Nakadake Crater offering spectacular views of steaming volcanic vents and rugged landscapes. Volcanic activity and weather conditions determine access to the crater. If the crater is open, this stop replaces the visit to Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu Shrine, allowing travellers to experience one of Japan's most remarkable natural wonders. Mount Aso volcano is currently closed. We will change Mount Aso to Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Kusasenrigahama

Kusasenri is a breathtaking volcanic grassland located within Aso-Kuju National Park in Kumamoto Prefecture. Formed by volcanic activity around 30,000 years ago, this vast plain lies inside a massive crater and features lush green meadows, seasonal ponds, and panoramic views of the active Mount Aso volcano. It's one of Kyushu's most iconic natural landscapes, offering excellent opportunities for sightseeing, photography, and relaxing amidst Japan's dramatic volcanic scenery.

Kumamoto

Kumamoto Prefecture is a beautiful region on Japan's Kyushu Island, renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, active volcanoes, historic landmarks, and hot springs. Home to the majestic Mount Aso—one of the world's largest active volcanoes—and the iconic Kumamoto Castle, the prefecture offers a perfect blend of outdoor adventure, rich cultural heritage, and traditional Japanese charm. Visitors can explore scenic grasslands, picturesque gorges, peaceful shrines, and local cuisine, making Kumamoto a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.

Takachiho Gorge

Takachiho Gorge is one of Kyushu's most spectacular natural attractions, carved by ancient volcanic activity along the Gokase River. Towering basalt cliffs rise dramatically above emerald-green waters, creating a breathtaking landscape that is especially famous for the picturesque Manai Falls. Stroll along the scenic riverside path, admire the unique rock formations, or choose an optional boat ride for an unforgettable view from the water. Rich in Japanese mythology and natural beauty, Takachiho Gorge is a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photographers.
