Plan Description
Make the day you check out of Kurokawa Onsen a scenic drive through Aso. Walk the Seiryu no Mori woods near your inn, then visit the crystal-clear Ikeyama Spring. Lunch is dengaku grilled over an open hearth at Takamori Dengaku no Sato, followed by Takamori Yusui Tunnel Park before heading back to Kumamoto Station. The Oguni area and Minamiaso are hard to link by public transport, but a private car covers them in one trip with your luggage on board.

Q. Is anything not included in the price?
Facility admission and activity fees and meals are not included and are paid on site. Parking fees, expressway tolls, fuel and tax are all included in the tour price.
Q. Can the tour end at Kumamoto Airport?
Yes. Kumamoto Airport is closer to Takamori than Kumamoto Station, so the tour can end at the airport to match your flight. Changing the route changes the driving distance, so the price may change.
Q. Is it worth it outside the autumn leaf season?
The Seiryu no Mori autumn colors usually peak from late October to late November, but the route is built around Aso spring water, such as Ikeyama Spring and Takamori Yusui Tunnel Park, and can be enjoyed all year.
