What did we see in Minamiaso, Kumamoto

Here, I'll tell you the places we went in Minamiaso, Kumamoto. Minamiaso is a beautiful village located in the southern foot of Mount Aso, the world's largest caldera.

We took a short lunch break at Aso-no-bo-no-sato Kugino (あその望の郷くぎの) rest house. From here, you can see the Five mountains of Aso right in front of you.

After that, we were strolling around the Shirakawa Suigen (白川水源) fountainhead. It's the origin of Shira River (白川) flowing through the Kumamoto city center. There's a rich spring water gushed out from the prescient of Shirakawa Yoshimi Shrine.

Before going to Umagase (Hyuga, Miyazaki), we dropped in Tsukimawari Park in Takamori. Mount Nekodake (根子岳) is the symbolic icon of the park. The jagged and edge mountain range draws one's eyes. And the place where green on the hillside got stripped is a mark of disaster strikes such as the Kumamoto earthquakes in last April.
