Plan Description
On the day you check out of Kurokawa Onsen, take your time with the highlights of Oguni and Aso on the way back to Kumamoto. See Nabegataki Falls, which you can view from behind the curtain of water, and the giant stones of Oshitoishi Hill on the grasslands, then take a break at ASO MILK FACTORY. Walk around Aso Shrine and its town, have an akaushi beef lunch, and spend the afternoon on Mt. Aso and at the New Aso Bridge lookout. Covering Oguni and Mt. Aso on the same day is hard by public transport; a private car links them in one route with your luggage on board.
