- Kumamoto Pref. Kikuchishi Haru
- It is located approximately 50 minutes away from the Ueki Interchange on the Kyushu Expressway. This gorge stretches within the Aso-Kuju National Park, and is a scenic area that has been selected as one of the Top 100 Forested Valleys in Japan, the 100 elections of the waterfall in Japan and the Top 100 Famous Water. Also known as Kikuchi Suigen, the underground water of Mt. Asogairin, which flows between a broadleaf forest, creates various lakes and waterfalls of various sizes, creating a landscape filled with variety. The average water temperature in the summer is 13 degrees Celsius, so it is called a natural cooler and is popular as a summer resort area. You can enjoy fresh greenery in the spring, colorful leaves in the autumn and frosty flowers that bloom over the whole mountain in the winter.

The blueish color from the water is very beautiful. It was so refreshing feeling the cool air from the waters.

- Kumamoto Pref. Yamagashi Kahokumachitaku Kinbara
- This is a valley upstream of the Iwanogawa River, where one can watch the white spray of the waterfall rise and fall among the sounds of chirping wild birds. The autumn colors are beautiful, as is the contrast of red and yellow trees on white water as seen from the promenade or suspension bridge.

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.
