Hakoishi Pass

Travel / Tourism

Kumamoto Aso-shi

This pass is situated along National Route 265 on the way from Ichinomiya Town to Takamori Town. Here visitors can enjoy a variety-rich winding road while taking in views of the grassy plains of Aso on either side. The sight of the dynamic road passing in front of Mt. Neko, one of the five peaks of Mt. Aso, is reminiscent of the Great Wall of China. The scenery which sprawls away into the distance at the top of the winding pass is famous amongst motorcycle riders and amateur photographers. The pass was awarded a Special Prize by the Kumamoto Kando Project, a project which seeks to discover new Kumamoto sightseeing destinations for a new age.

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.
