Yamanami Highway

Travel / Tourism

Oita Pref. Kusugunkokonoemachi Tano

This is a one-hour drive course that connects Yufuin in the north and Kumamoto Prefecture’s Aso-gun Minami Oguni-machi Town in the south, selected as one of Japan’s greatest 100 mountain range roads. There are spots where one can enjoy views of the Kuju Mountain Range, hot springs, and Kogen gourmet food. There are many spots where one can feel close to the mountains such as the Tadewara Wetlands which formed from springs at the base of mountains in the Kyushu volcanic group and Yamanami Farm. Coming from the direction of Fukuoka/Oita, get off the Oita Expressway at “Yufuin IC” and take National Road 210, then enter the Yamanami Highway.
Gosoku no Kutsu Literary Trail

Travel / Tourism

Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Amakusamachi Shimoda

A portion of the trail walked by Hiroshi (Tekkan) Yosano, Hakushu Kitahara , Banri Hirano, Isamu Yoshii, and Mokutaro Kinoshita in 1907. It's now administered as a promenade. The roughly 3.2-kilometer trail has three lookouts and two rest spots along the way. There are also plaques describing episodes from the Five Pairs of Shoes travel stories, as well as a bulletin board with the winning entries from the Gosoku no Kutsu National Tanka Contest. It takes about two hours to walk. Maintenance work is done on the trail about three times a year, but be careful as it gets slippery when it rains.

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.
