    Kumamoto Pref. Asoshi Nishikozono
    This is an observatory deck on the prefectural road Route 339 (Milk Road). Here one can see the five peaks of Mt. Aso and its outer crater rim, and a sea of clouds in the early morning. It’s recommended for a drive break, or to use the shop or 24-hour toilet facilities.

    訪問は１２月の２０日過ぎ、地震によって元々あった展望所が壊れたようで、まだ重機で整地？していた。 杭の内側までは行けるのでギリギリまで行って景色を堪能。 曇り空ではあったが、噴煙もバッチリ！大観峰より噴煙は見やすいかも。

    This unusual Shinto shrine is located in Minamiaso village, Aso County. It was founded to pray for hitting the lottery, and it honors a boulder that was dug up during construction work in 2004. Lots of visitors come to pray for big winnings. People from around the country leave old wallets and purses at a memorial altar.

    南阿蘇の観光名所である「宝来宝来神社」に立ち寄る事に。一部の方にはパワースポットという認識が有られるが、私はパワーがどうだのこうだのではなく、こういう施設をお金をかけてコツコツ増設しながら作り上げているのに、入場料を一切徴収せず何も買わなければ一切無料で済む施設という点が素晴らしいと感心する場所。真っ赤な建物が印象的な神社で、久しぶりに来たが以前より施設が増設されていました。 宝来宝来堂の隣には...

    Kumamoto Pref. Hitoyoshishi Shimoshinmachi 333-1
    "It is located an approximately 10-minute drive from the Hitoyoshi Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. This popular activity lets you descend the Kuma River, one of Japan's three most fast-flowing rivers along with the Mogami River and Fujigawa River, in a wooden boat that the boatman skillfully maneuvers. You can feel the exhilaration of passing through huge rocks you come very close to and rough waves. The approximately 50-minute ""Seiryu course"" from the Hitoyoshi departure dock to the hot spring town of Hitoyoshi is available from March to November. Between December and February, it becomes relaxing boat with kotatsu (tables heated underneath), offering a different way of enjoyment than the rough rafting in the summer."

    Must do activity while in Hitoyoshi. Made reservation at the Hitoyoshi tour information center and enjoyed a very nice tour.

    The former residence of author Natsume Soseki is located next to the Janes Residence on the grounds of the Kumamoto Yogakko School. This is the third house that Soseki lived in while in Kumamoto, and it was moved from the former village of Oe to its current location. It is said to be the departure point for the journey described in his book Grass Pillow (Kusa-makura).

    広くて美しい水前寺成趣園を中央の池の周りを時計回りに一周しました。次に向かったのが、夏目漱石大江旧居です。 その場所は水前寺成趣園のすぐ東隣なんですが、不規則に交わっている狭い道が続く住宅街にあったので、見つけるのにちょっと手間取りました。 板張りの外壁の、いかにも明治の建物でした。内部も見学ができました。畳敷きの和室がいくつかあって、広さも十分な間取りでした。

    Gokanosho is a collective name for a region of five local settlements, and is approximately 60 minutes from the Matsuhashi or Hitoyoshi Interchange of the Kyushu Expressway. This region surrounded by the steep ravines of the Kyushu Central mountain range is said to have been established by the Heike clan after being defeated at the Battle of Danno-ura. Located here is the Heike no Sato, culture and history museum which tells of the settler’s folklore and lifestyles of that period. Also the Kureko Kodai Dance, a National Important Intangible Cultural Property, is performed annually within the Kureko shrine precincts commemorating their settlement on August 15, September 1, and November 3. This region is also an exquisite spot for enjoying autumnal foliage and fresh verdure.

    Kumamoto Aso-gun Minamiasomura Shimono 793
    "The world's only theater dedicated to ""saru mawashi,"" a type of monkey show with a long history in Japan. The theater can accommodate 600 people and holds funny and heartwarming shows 365 days a year. Performances include handstands, walking on stilts, and even bicycle riding. The cuteness of the monkeys bring smiles to the faces of the audience and draws viewers into the performance before they know it. The theater is situated in a naturally beautiful area at the foot of Mt. Aso and inside visitors can enjoy the light banter between the monkeys and their trainers. Another great thing about the theater is that it offers subtitled translations in three languages and the theater fully incorporates universal design principles. The large theater grounds also encompass a monkey zoo where visitors can interact with monkeys, a shop selling original merchandise, and a self-service diner."

Stop by their KICHIJIEN café for some fresh fruit soft serve ice cream. From the farm there's a nice view of the town and the nearby mountains.

    在樱町巴士總站乘搭U21到笹尾站下車步行数分鐘到達，由於巴士楼層有很多路綫及上車位置，而且U21巴士一小時只有一班車，尋找巴士站位置不容易，所以整個旅程連同摘取草莓時需要大半天啊！付了入場費後，農場負責人會分發手套及剪刀，到指定的區域摘取草莓，大部分草莓都是鲜甜的！由於草莓田是在温室的，所以不宜穿厚衣服活動。

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.
