▲ Mount Aso & Kusasenri (Free time, including lunch. Other entrance fees are at your own expense.) Mount Aso, located in northeastern Kumamoto Prefecture, Kyushu, is a renowned active volcano in Japan, boasting a caldera formation rarely seen in the world. It's one of the few places where you can get up close and personal with an active volcano. Gazing down at the crater and the constant stream of white smoke, you'll experience the breathtaking power and magnificent beauty of nature.
▲ Aso Kusasenri is a vast grassland located at the northern foot of Mount Eboshi. A central pond of rainwater forms the center of the grassland, where cattle and horses graze, offering a variety of scenery throughout the year. A leisurely stroll through these 20,000 hectares of lush green grassland, watching the free-roaming cattle and sheep, and breathing in the fresh mountain air, is a truly refreshing experience, creating a feeling of being transported to a paradise.
▲ ▼Kumamoto Castle (free to move around, entrance fee 800 yen, at your own expense) Kumamoto Castle is one of the "Three Great Castles of Japan".
