Kumamoto Aso Mountain & Kurokawa Onsen Full-Day Tour
Обзор
Reasons to Recommend: Imagine yourself strolling through a tranquil cedar forest in light clothing, sunlight dappling through the treetops, as if stepping into a scene from "Hotarubi no Mori e" (Into the Forest of Fireflies' Light). Then, stand on the edge of an active volcano, listening to the Earth's heartbeat, and witnessing the magical colors of the volcanic lake with your own eyes. In the afternoon, relax in a forest hot spring, gazing at the misty mountains and feeling the slow rhythm of time. This is the charm of a day trip to Mount Aso. Let's take a look at the detailed itinerary~ Kamishikimi Kumanoza Shrine The model for "Hotarubi no Mori e," a real-life "second-dimensional secret realm" is here! Walk the 260 moss-covered stone steps, sunlight shining through the cedar forest✨, with a 100% photo success rate in the morning. Warm reminder: Light-colored long dress + mosquito repellent spray = the best equipment! Mount Aso & Kusasenri-ga-hama Mount Aso is one of the largest active volcanoes in the world! Standing on the edge of the crater, watching the sulfur smoke curl up, you can occasionally see the blue-green volcanic lake~ super shocking! Next, come to Kusasenri, a large green field undulating like waves. It is recommended to experience horse riding on the grassland or drone aerial photography. The scenery is really like an animation scene. These project costs need to be paid by yourself~ In the evening, we will come to this hot spring town hidden in the valley. [Kurokawa Onsen] is a very famous hot spring area in Kumamoto, retaining the traditional Japanese wooden house style, scattered among the green hills and rivers. There are more than 20 hot spring hotels with different styles in the town. Walking along the creek, the air is filled with the moist fragrance of spring water, which is completely healing. It is strongly recommended to experience the "Onsen Meguri Tegata" (hot spring hopping pass) (just a small hand card, you can check in between multiple hot springs), while soaking in the hot springs, listening to the birds, and watching the stars, perfectly ending the day.
