Hotel Keyaki Gate Tokyo Fuchu
Located in Fuchu, Tokyo, this conveniently situated hotel is ideal for both sightseeing and business. Keio Line Fuchu Station, where the hotel is located, offers direct access to Shinjuku in as little as 20 minutes without transfers, as well as easy connections to popular attractions such as Sanrio Puroland and Mount Takao. The hotel is directly connected to the station via a covered pedestrian deck, just a one-minute walk away, making it especially comfortable even on rainy days.
The location is super convenient! Just a few steps from Fuchu Station, and it's really quick to get here by train. Even with luggage, it's not tiring at all.

Aso Panorama Line
Aso-Panorama Line is the 37-km long scenic route in the center of the Mount Aso caldera that runs the north, west and south routes towards the 5 mountains of Aso. All three directions of the path meet in the midde, making their way towards Aso Sanjo Public Square. Here you’ll find unrivaled views of the Somma volcano, and the wide open green of the great outdoors as you discover the best scenic spots of Aso.
Driving along the Aso Panorama Line was just amazing! The scenery was so stunning the whole way, I honestly didn’t want it to end!

Gokanosho
Located deep in the mountains along the border with Miyazaki Prefecture, Gokanosho is a remote hidden region surrounded by steep gorges. According to legend, it once served as a refuge for the defeated warriors of the Heike clan. The surrounding mountains rise between 1,300 and 1,700 meters, and although the area is heavily forested, small settlements have existed here since long ago, nourished by the Kawabe River-one of Kumamoto’s major waterways-which originates in this region.
The natural environment here is amazing. Kids loved watching the stream and crossing the suspension bridge, while adults enjoyed taking photos and walking the trails. Great spot for everyone!
