- Ichifusa Dam Lakeshore
- Travel / Tourism
- Kumamoto Pref. Kumagunmizukamimura Yuyama
- "Ichifusa Dam was built in 1960 in Mizukami Village, Kuma County, Kumamoto Prefecture. Yoshino cherries were planted around the dam lake when the dam was built, and today the lakeshore is a renowned destination for viewing cherry blossoms in spring. The area's ""10 thousand"" cherries sprawl along the shore for 14 kilometers, and visitors can appreciate their beautiful blossoms. A cherry blossom festival is also held here during the season, and a portion of the trees are lit up at night to delight visitors."

- Okoshiki Beach
- Travel / Tourism
- Kumamoto Pref. Utoshi Shimoodamachi
- "A coastal area located in Uto City. Literally translated, ""Okoshiki"" means ""palanquin,"" a name that is derived from a legend which states that when Emperor Keiko toured Kyushu, his eyes were arrested by the beauty of the coastline and he ordered his palanquin to stop. The scenery has been selected for inclusion in a list of Japan's 100 best beaches and 100 best sunsets. On clear days, visitors can see all the way to Mt. Fugen in Nagasaki on the opposite shore. The ebb and flow between the tides here is also the greatest of any location in Japan, and during the ebb tide, the exposed sands create beautiful curing patterns."

- Sendan Todoro Falls
- Travel / Tourism
- Kumamoto Yatsushiro-shi Izumimachi Kakizako
- Waterfall on the Nagao Mata River, a tributary of the Kobara River. It is said the falls got their name because at one time there were Japanese bead trees (sendan) beside them. The waterfall plunging from the 70-meter-high rock cliff edge is a powerful site to behold. You can view it from the observatory on the road, or see its roughly eight-meter in diameter basin up close once you cross the suspension bridge. It takes about 15 minutes on a walkway to the waterfall lookout. It's also nice that the area around the waterfall is maintained for hiking.

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.
