I love the beauty of the mountain mist, and the sound of the flowing stream felt like it was welcoming us. After soaking in the natural riverside hot spring, I felt completely refreshed and healed. If you’re looking to explore a hidden gem, this place is perfect. This hot spring village is waiting for us to enjoy the beauty of nature together ^_^

Aso Shrine (Kumamoto)
The master god who has created Aso, Takei Watatsu no Mikoto, and 12 of his family gods are enshrined here. As the head of Higo Province, this is ranked top over nearly 500 branch Aso Shrines nationwide. Its history goes back more than 2000 years. Its faith is fused with volcano worship that believes Mt. Aso to be a god.
Aso Shrine (阿蘓神社, Aso Jinja)
A solemn and majestic shrine. The approach runs sideways through a retro-style shopping street. Passing through the Romon Gate and bowing with your hands together before the worship hall, you can truly experience the resilient and tranquil power of this 2,500-year-old shrine amid today's technology and prosperity.
Strolling along the main approach and visiting with a sense of nostalgia, a goshuin gives worshippers a devout memento while they pray for peace, success, happiness, and good health ^_^

Dolphin Watching Reservation Center (Amakusa City, Kumamoto)
A dolphin-watching tour set in the waters of Amakusa Itsuwa, home to around 150 wild Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins.
Amakusa Dolphin Center (天草イルカセンター)
Under a blue sky and over a clear blue sea, we set sail with a mix of excitement and nervousness, riding the wind and waves in search of adorable dolphins swimming freely.
Full of anticipation, we eagerly looked around. Before long, enthusiastic cheers rang out—pods of dolphins had already appeared before our eyes! Their streamlined bodies surfaced, revealing lively, graceful dorsal fins amid splashing water.
The healthy marine environment and thriving ecosystem have created this breathtaking scenery, allowing wild dolphins to live freely here. This dolphin-watching trip in Amakusa not only let us enjoy the beauty of nature but also left us with countless surprises and deeply moving moments. It was undoubtedly one of the most treasured pages of our trip to Amakusa!

Nagabeta Kaishoro
The row of utility poles standing in the sea creates a mysterious and almost otherworldly sight, making it one of Kumamoto Prefecture’s most famous photo spots on social media today.
Nagabeta Kaishoro (ながべたかいしょうろ),
The statue of Jinbe, Knight of the Sea, is located right near the famous sight of utility poles standing in the sea. The statue sits cross-legged, conveying the steady, bold presence of a helmsman. The utility poles in the sea create excellent leading lines for casual photos. At low tide, the shimmering reflections on the wetlands on both sides are very beautiful. The towering palm trees and Jinbe on the ground create a striking contrast in height, and with the vast blue sky and distant mountains, the overall atmosphere feels relaxed and carefree~
The meaning of travel is nothing more than “participate in a famous life, enjoy life” ✨
