The Flying Kakko Dango is a must-try when visiting Genbikei. Pretty much everyone grabs a bite! 🤣

Greenland (Kumamoto)
Behold, one of western Japan’s largest amusement parks, ringing in a massive scale over in Arao, a city in Kumamoto Prefecture. With Japan’s highest roster of a whopping 70 plus attractions, join the unbeatable fun on rides like a giant Ferris wheel, measuring 100 meters wide and 105 meters tall as it turns with views over Ariake Sea and Aso caldera on clear days.
This place is huge and super fun! There are thrilling roller coasters and plenty of rides for families, too. The Ferris wheel is super romantic with amazing views. You can spend the whole day here and never get bored. Perfect spot for a family outing!

Botchan Karakuri Clock
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the construction of Dogo Onsen Honkan (main building), this mechanical clock was built in 1994 at the Hojoen Garden, located in front of the Dogo Onsen tram station. From 8 am to 10 pm, every hour (and every 30 minutes on weekends, holidays, during the months of March, April, August, and November, during Golden Week, and over New Year's), the clock performs to its music, giving a vibrant welcome to those visiting Dogo Onsen.
Every hour, music plays and little figures pop out. It's super cute and has a nostalgic vibe! If you're passing by, you definitely have to stop, check it out, and snap some photos!

Chuson-ji Temple
Chuson-ji Temple, founded in 850 AD, owns over 3,000 national treasures and important cultural properties and is also registered as a World Heritage site. This temple was built to transmit the powerful wish to comfort the spirits of those killed in the Tohoku War, no matter which side they were on.
There are lots of Buddha statues covered in gold leaf inside the Golden Hall, but unfortunately, photos aren’t allowed.
