A trip around the mystical Kumamoto and TakachihoDeepen the charm of Kumamoto and Takachiho and start a journey full of mysticism and natural wonders. First, head to Kamishi-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. The Tenyasu River within the shrine grounds was originally a popular place to make wishes by stacking stones, signifying that wishes would be fulfilled and good fortune would come. In addition to the sacred pilgrimage of worshippers, you can also experience a traditional blessing ceremony. Afterwards, 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 give a sense of the 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. Whether it is a mysterious legend or the fascinating beauty of nature, this itinerary will bring you an unparalleled travel experience. The schedule is not available in Japanese.

Please enjoy an elegant time surrounded by flowers. Even those who are new to flower arrangements can participate with peace of mind. Anyone who likes flowers and is interested is welcome The finished arrangement is On the day You can take it home. The Flower Arrangement is a field of flower design that was introduced in Japan along with lifestyle changes in the early Meiji era. In a broad sense, it is a collective term for flower modeling excluding Kosurge and Bouquet. Many say that they are put on water-absorbing foams and decorated on containers. Unlike Ikebana, it can be used for various purposes such as interiors and gifts because it does not matter where and where it is. In Japan, where the seasons are clear, it was customary to enjoy seasonal flowers. As it becomes modern and there are fewer opportunities to feel the four seasons in daily life, you can enjoy the rich season through flowers.
