    Kumamoto Pref. Asoshi Ichinomiyamachisanno 2351
    This viewpoint is located 748 meters above sea level. Located at the start of the Yamanami Highway that leads to Beppu, it's a nice spot for a break while driving. It has a magnificent view of Aso Gogaku, the five peaks of Mt. Aso-with the farmland of the Aso Valley stretching below. On autumn early mornings when conditions are right, you might see the phenomenon known as unkai, a sea of clouds.

    We were heading back to Fukuoka and this lookout is on the way and we made a quick stop. The view is very beautiful looking back down the flat valley at Aso station and surrounding mountains...

    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。

    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.

    Kumamoto Pref. Asogunminamiogunimachi Manganji
    A bridge located in Minamioguni Town, Aso County, Kumamoto Prefecture. Spanning the Kurokawa Onsen hot spring district, during the Yuakari event each year in winter, carved bamboo tubes lit from within and bamboo work lights are placed around the bridge. Many tourists come during the event to enjoy the magical sight of the lights reflecting off the river surface.

    Kumamoto Aso-gun Minamiogunimachi Manganji Hiranodai
    "This observatory is located a 10-minute drive from Kurokawa Onsen. From here visitors can get a sweeping view which stretches from Seiryu-no-mori to the five peaks of Mt. Aso. The observatory's sprawling panoramic view encompasses the Kuju Mountain Range to the east and Mt. Aso to the south, and, if you come here early in the morning and are lucky, you might just get to see the area's famous ""sea of clouds."" The observatory has been designated a Lover's Sanctuary, and it is said that couples who ring the observatory's bell make a vow of everlasting love. The observatory is also little-affected by city lights and the area's skies are clear, and at night it becomes a popular photography spot from which you can see star-filled skies."

    風の音と鳥のさえずりだけが聞こえる自然を思い切り満喫できる場所です。 天体観測はとても綺麗で、夜中に自分たちで見ることのできる星空は素晴らしいようです。（私たちは天体観測は十二分に楽しめましたが、夜中は残念ながら見れませんでした。） ただ、５月初旬の気候でも夜中は半端なく冷え込みます。こたつとファンヒーターを使うくらい寒かったので、夜中の観測を考えている方は万全の服装をおススメします。又、ピクニッ...

Kumamoto Areas

around-area-map

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.
