－Attractions－

• Kumamoto Castle and Josaien

Kumamoto Castle stands tall alongside Osaka Castle and Nagoya Castle as one of
Japan’s three most famous castles. It was built under the leadership of Kato
Kiyomasa, a prominent general under Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The approach to the
castle and the surrounding park are lined with numerous cherry blossom trees,
making it a renowned spot for hanami (cherry blossom viewing).

• Aso Nakadake Crater

If the volcanic gas emissions at the crater exceed safety standards and make
it inaccessible, we will adjust the itinerary to visit Kusasenri instead – we
appreciate your understanding. Mt. Aso, the largest volcanic range in Kyushu,
underwent a major eruption 90,000 years ago, radically altering the landscape
and environment of the region. This has given rise to numerous natural hot
springs and sightseeing spots in the surrounding area. Aso Volcano is an
active volcano and one of the few where you can get an up-close look at its
activities.
