All Reviews of Milk Road

Kumamoto’s Milk Road is a classic driving route in the Aso area and is also popular with many cyclists. Along the way, there are endless green grasslands and rolling mountains. As the road winds ahead, the scenery constantly changes, making it enjoyable whether you’re driving or cycling. Traveling through the natural landscape with such expansive views feels especially refreshing.

While driving around Aso, Kumamoto, I specifically planned to take the “Milk Road”! The scenery along the way was a wonderful surprise. Driving along the highland road, with vast grasslands and mountain views on both sides, felt so open and completely different from the scenery in the city.

What attracted me most about this road was the natural scenery along the way. There was no need to rush from one attraction to another. Just driving slowly and looking out the window at the Aso mountains felt very relaxing. Whenever I came across a beautiful view, I stopped to take pictures, and every stop brought a different surprise.

There are also quite a few farms, scenic viewpoints, and rest stops along the way where you can buy milk, ice cream, and local dairy products. Drinking fresh milk while looking out over the Aso highlands really made it feel like a trip to Kyushu.

Milk Road is such a beautiful drive! You get to enjoy views of the Aso Five Peaks and even catch some sea of clouds along the way. It's a great way to really experience the natural beauty of Aso. Highly recommended!
