First, head to Kamiishi-Kimi Kumano-za, famous for its pilgrimage route decorated with nearly 100 lanterns, as if you were lost in a dream world. Along the way, you will find Kuroto-iwa, a giant wind tunnel protruding from Onihachi, a symbol of faith that overcomes difficulties. The shrine's sacred tree, Nagi, is also an ideal place to make a wish, as it symbolizes matchmaking and business prosperity. Next, head to Amanoiwato Shrine and experience the mystical charm of Japanese mythology. Amanoiwato Shrine is an ancient sacred place that enshrines Amaterasu Omikami.

Not only can you make a sacred pilgrimage for worshippers, but you can also experience a traditional blessing ceremony. Afterwards, you will explore Takachiho Gorge, a beautiful valley formed by an ancient volcanic eruption. The cliffs towering on both sides of the valley and the Manai Falls, which give a sense of majestic nature. On the approximately 1 km promenade, you can leisurely stroll through unique scenery such as the "Kihachi Power Stone" and three arch bridges from different eras (Shinbashi Bridge, Showa Bridge, and Shinto Takachiho Bridge). In particular, the 70 m high Sennin no Byobu Rock has a beauty like a natural folding screen. Each attraction has its own history and natural scenery, allowing you to feel the depth of Japanese culture and the splendor of natural scenery.

Soyokyo Nakayama Dam is located in the upper reaches of the Gokase River, Japan's cleanest river. It is part of the Aso Geopark. You can enjoy it according to the season from spring to autumn. The meeting place is the former Soyo Town Hall, now the Soyokyo General Branch Office. It is about 30 minutes from Minamiaso and 40 minutes from Takachiho. The boarding point is a little difficult to drive because it is a narrow road that winds down, so we will travel by our company's car. Morning departures are at 9:30 and afternoon departures are at 13:00. There is almost no current, so it is perfect for first-time canoeing experience. We set out from the edge of the dam lake and head for the waterfall downstream. We take photos with the spray of the waterfall and the pleasant breeze of negative ions right in front of us! There we take a drink break while still in the canoe (one drink per person). From there, we go back upstream and go further upstream than the boarding point! It is said that Aso was formed 90,000 years ago, and in that time it has become full of power spots, such as the rock surfaces carved by the river, trees that stand embracing large stones, and an unnamed waterfall that is stepped but about 80m high. Experience the charm of Soyo Gorge, a hidden area in the southeast of the outer rim of Mt. Aso, upstream of Takachiho Gorge, the village of the gods, through a canoe.

Enjoy an elegant moment surrounded by flowers. Even if you are new to flower arranging, you can participate with confidence. Anyone who likes flowers or is interested in flowers is welcome. You can take the completed arrangement home on the day. Flower arranging is a field of flower design that was introduced to Japan in the early Meiji period along with changes in lifestyle, and in a broad sense, it is a general term for flower shapes excluding corsages and bouquets. In many cases, it refers to things made by inserting them into absorbent foam or displaying them in a container. Unlike ikebana, it does not matter where or how it is made, so it has come to be used for various purposes such as interior decoration and gifts. In Japan, where the four seasons are clearly defined, there was originally a custom of enjoying seasonal flowers. In modern times, there are fewer opportunities to feel the four seasons in daily life and it has become simplified, but through flowers, you can enjoy the rich seasons even more. You can obtain qualifications from the NFD (Japan Flower Designers Association).
