What you can expect
Visit Shirakumi Kumanozu Shrine (inspired by the anime Hotarubi no Mori e), explore Japan’s largest caldera at Mt. Aso with its wild horses, and unwind in the hidden hot spring paradise of Kurokawa Onsen—where volcanic grandeur meets soothing onsen serenity. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a journey through Kyushu’s most captivating layers: anime magic, raw geological power, and timeless onsen tranquility .
Shirakumi Kumanozu Shrine: Step into Hotarubi no Mori e’s World
Immerse yourself in the real-life setting of the beloved anime Hotarubi no Mori e—a shrine nestled in Kumamoto’s misty forests, blending reality with animated beauty.
Anime-Inspired Scenery: Traverse moss-covered stone steps, wander lantern-lit corridors, and snap photos of the iconic red torii gate reflecting in crystal-clear streams—every spot feels like a movie poster.Mt. Aso & Kusasenri
Kusanohashi Overlook:
Take in panoramic views of the approximately 25-km-wide Aso caldera and the smoking Nakadake Peak (active volcanic crater). The vast grasslands change colors with the seasons—from lush green in spring to golden hues in autumn—making it an ideal spot for capturing spectacular volcanic scenery.
The Charm of Kusasenri:
Watch wild horses graze peacefully on the mineral-rich grassland beside the volcanic lake, while the lake reflects the majestic silhouette of Nakadake, creating a breathtaking natural landscape.
- Kurokawa Onsen: A Hidden Hot Spring Gem
End your day in Kurokawa, a mountain village where time slows to the rhythm of steaming onsen.
Open-Air Baths (Rotemburo): Soak in 100% natural mineral springs—choose cedar-lined tubs with forest views or riverside baths with the Kurokawa River’s murmur.
