Visit Aso Shrine, then stroll the shopping street in front of it, where spring-water fountains line the way, for some street food. Have lunch at Aso Hanabishi, known for akaushi beef, before we take you to Kumamoto Station. By public transport you would change between trains and buses; with a private car your luggage stays on board and you can time the trip to your train or flight.
