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🥹
