The coastal area has a stretch of 20 to 80-meter high cliffs, which together with large and small islands, reefs and caves form a unique landscape. The largest, ""Myonken Domon"" cave mouth, can be easily accessed by small boats, and you can see sea caves and stalactites that cross each other.

Kumamoto Areas

Kumamoto lies in the center of Kyushu, a calm prefecture perfect for easy strolls around the historic center and lazy evenings in the natural hot springs at Kurokawa Onsen. For a slightly more strenuous activity, head to Mount Aso, whose surrounding hills offer hiking opportunities aplenty with views over the active volcano.
