  • Top of Mt. Takabuto
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumamoto Kamiamakusa Matsushimamachi Amura
    "This observatory is located on Mt. Takabuto, a mountain selected for inclusion in the Japan Sunset Best 100. From the mountaintop 117 meters above sea level, visitors can get a sweeping view of the fantastic scenery of Amakusa Matsushima, part of Unzen-Amakusa National Park. The mountaintop is also a famous destination for viewing the setting sun and has been included in the Japan Sunset Best 100 list. In ancient times, the mountain's name was written with characters meaning ""high fat mountain,"" but after a local military commander had fun dancing on top of it during the Warring States period, it came to be written with characters pronounced similarly but meaning ""high dancing climbing mountain."" Some 30 cherry trees grow on top of the mountain, and in April it bustles with visitors come to enjoy the sight of their blossoms."

  • Gosoku no Kutsu Literary Trail
    Travel / Tourism
    Kumamoto Amakusa-shi Amakusamachi Shimoda
    A portion of the trail walked by Hiroshi (Tekkan) Yosano, Hakushu Kitahara , Banri Hirano, Isamu Yoshii, and Mokutaro Kinoshita in 1907. It's now administered as a promenade. The roughly 3.2-kilometer trail has three lookouts and two rest spots along the way. There are also plaques describing episodes from the Five Pairs of Shoes travel stories, as well as a bulletin board with the winning entries from the Gosoku no Kutsu National Tanka Contest. It takes about two hours to walk. Maintenance work is done on the trail about three times a year, but be careful as it gets slippery when it rains.

    Kumamoto Pref. Kamiamakusashi Ryugatakemachiodou 3360-47

    龍ヶ岳の展望台にあります。芝生が広がり駐車場なども整備されていますが、ここに来るまでの道が狭いです。国道からの距離もあり、道幅は狭く途中すれ違いができるところも限られます。私は景色より、ここまでの道と施設のギャップに驚きました。

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.
