A model itinerary for enjoying Kumamoto to the fullest, including Kumamoto Castle, Mount Aso, and the Christian settlements of Amakusa.
Kumamoto Prefecture in the Kyushu region has many scenic spots, such as the Aso region, which boasts magnificent natural beauty, and Amakusa, where historical sites of hidden Christians remain, but both are located far from the center of the prefecture. In this article, we will introduce a three-day model itinerary that covers Kumamoto city, Aso, and Amakusa.
