Here are three breathtaking spots in Aso, Kumamoto that you should definitely visit this spring and summer! 1. Daikanbo If you're lucky, you can see a sea of clouds from Daikanbo! With its high altitude, it offers a panoramic view of the entire Aso area. The scenery after the sea of clouds dissipates is also stunning, so it's a must-visit! 2. Kusasenrigahama Aso Mountain, a large pond that looks like a lake, and grazing horses. The majestic scenery that makes you feel like you're not in Japan is unforgettable once you see it. Horses are grazed after 4 PM and early in the morning, making it perfect for photos! You can also experience horseback riding from 10 AM to 4 PM. Riding a horse with Aso Mountain in the background is the best! 3. Komezuka A green mountain that looks like a bowl standing in the grassland. This majestic scenery will also captivate your heart. It's recommended as a stop on your driving course. 1. 📍Daikanbo Observatory Address: 2090-8 Yamada, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture 869-2313 Hours: Open 24 hours Tips for seeing the sea of clouds 📝 The sea of clouds time is from around 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM, so make sure to reach the summit by then 📝 If you want to see the sunrise, arrive by 6:00 AM 📝 Check the temperature difference between morning and evening A large temperature difference between morning and evening increases the chances of seeing the sea of clouds! 2. 📍Kusasenrigahama Address: Nagakusa, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture 869-2231 🕐 Grazing time: Early morning to 9:00 AM / After 4:00 PM Horseback riding: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, 1500 yen, cash only ⚠️ You cannot choose the horse 🅿️ Parking available 3. 📍Komezuka (View from a spot on the road from Kusasenri to Aso Station) Address: Otohime, Aso City, Kumamoto Prefecture #KumamotoTourism #Kumamoto #Aso #Daikanbo #Kusasenrigahama #Komezuka
