About this activity

Discover the breathtaking beauty of Aso, Kumamoto's "Land of Fire," on this immersive 1-day private tour. Led by an expert guide, you'll explore the region's most stunning natural wonders, carefully preserved for generations.

Begin at Kusasenri, a vast grassland stretching 780,000 sqm at 1,100m altitude. Marvel at the striking contrast between Mt. Aso Nakadake's grandeur and the idyllic scene of grazing livestock. Next, ascend to Daikanbo for a spectacular 360-degree panorama. From here, admire Aso's townscape and the Five Peaks, resembling a reclining Buddha. The tour concludes at the mystical Nabegataki Falls, a 10m high, 20m wide curtain of water formed by ancient volcanic activity. This popular photo spot showcases nature's raw beauty. It's a perfect blend of natural wonders and cultural significance, suitable for all nature enthusiasts.
