Hiking must go to the secret wetland 🌿|Aso Volcano Area

Disembark from Fukuoka Self-drive tour to near Aso volcano The first trip is to go to Cao Qianli. The endless green grassland is really great and heals busy urbanites🥺 Aso Volcano is in Kumamoto The birthplace of Crayon Shin-chan's mother, Misato Nohara, is Kumamoto☺️ So the traces of Crayon Shin-chan's family are seen all around Crayon Shin-chan wearing a Kumamon shirt is super cute 😍😍😍 But you don't have to go to its Aso Volcano Museum😂 Because there is nothing to see 🫣 Another 10 minutes drive to Aso Crater At 1506 meters above sea level, Aso Nakadake is located in the central zone of Mount Aso and is an active volcano with quite frequent volcanic activity. On that day, I have to go back to the official website of Aso Volcano to see if there are warning signs. If you pass the warning, you won't be able to get on 🤔 Drive another two hours or so Let’s go to Kikuchi Valley From mid-October, Kikuchi Creek Valley, known as the "100 Best of Japanese Forest Baths", enters its best maple viewing season. The trees are replaced with red and yellow autumn clothes, and the bright red leaves cover the trail with a beautiful carpet😍 Listen to the sound of running water Listen to the crickets It was surrounded by green trees It's simply a healing journey🥹

Aso Geopark

🌞 Endless Outdoors: Unveiling Aso Geopark’s Majestic Landscapes 🏞️ Aso Geopark is an open-air paradise alive with breathtaking mountains, rolling rice fields, and unbeatable weather—ideal for the nature lover! Lace up your shoes for a full immersion into its unbeatable views and scenic diversity. 🧭 Route & Must-Do Experiences: Start your day at the Aso Geopark Visitor Center (Aso, Kumamoto Prefecture)—grab a map and check out the volcano info exhibits! Hike or drive towards Mount Aso, the largest active volcano in Japan, for jaw-dropping vistas. Wander through green rice terraces and catch the sun lighting up the countryside for that perfect “Nature-Vision” feeling. Take a break at one of the local tea houses for a taste of regional flavors and chat with friendly locals about the changing seasons. 📸 Insta-Worthy Spots: Don’t miss panoramic shots from Kusasenri grasslands; sunrise or mid-afternoon offers radiant lighting over the endless mountains. Peer over the volcanic caldera rim for dramatic scenery, and capture the golden patchwork of rice fields from roadside viewpoints. 💡 Visiting Tips: - The weather is reliably pleasant, but sun protection (hat, sunscreen) is a must. - Early starts mean quieter trails and more vibrant photos. - If heading up Mt. Aso, double check volcanic activity updates at the Visitor Center before hiking. - Light layers keep you comfy as temperatures shift in higher altitudes. ⚠️ Precautions: Stay on marked trails and watch volcanic safety advisories—they’re posted everywhere for a reason. Some rice field paths can get muddy after rain, so sturdy shoes recommended! #Aso #Nature #JapanTravel #OutdoorAdventure #ScenicViews

Exploring Kyushu was an absolute blast—think next-level city vibes, nature escapes, and, yes, a must-try special disco massage experience you seriously can't miss! 🌙💆♀️ Here are the top spots to hit up for an epic Kyushu adventure: 1. Fukuoka - Late nights, vibrant streets, and some truly unique wellness stops. Definitely check out the special disco massage parlors (look for options around Nakasu area, Fukuoka), where you get post-party relaxation and actual disco beats—open late, just make sure to book ahead! 2. Beppu - Famous for hot springs and steamy onsen baths. The Hells of Beppu ('Jigoku Meguri'), open daily from 8:00–17:00, are wild volcanic phenomena you won’t see elsewhere. Address: Kannawa, Beppu-shi, Oita Prefecture. 3. Kumamoto - Marvel at Kumamoto Castle (open 9:00–17:00, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto-shi), and swing by Suizenji Garden for a peaceful walk and killer views. Getting Around: Use the Kyushu Rail Pass for unlimited train travel—it saves cash and time. Local city buses are simple with prepaid transit cards (get one at any major train station). Foodies Alert: Try Hakata ramen in Fukuoka (Ichiran, Tenjin area) and fresh seafood at Yanagibashi Rengo Market! For snacks, nab some yuzu kosho or spicy mentaiko. Money & Tips: Most places take credit cards, but grab some cash for small shops or massage parlors. Weather varies—pack layers (rain jacket for Beppu’s misty vibe is clutch!). Whether you’re after nightlife, nature, or quirky self-care, Kyushu totally delivers. #KyushuTrip #JapanTravel #FukuokaNights #OnsenLife #FoodieFinds
