Activity
While the trek is full of adventure, you can feel safe as you are led by an experienced guide♪
Visitors can enjoy nature, from hiking on thrilling steep trails using rope and chains, and feel the mysterious energy of the sacred "Men-no-Ishi."
You can take great pictures at the sacred cave with a cat-like silhouette♪
After the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake, the "Men-no-Ishi" rock that was once stuck in the air between two sides of the cave fell down and the new silhouette of the cave is said to look like a cat. The "Men-no-Ishi" is like the cat's bell, and following the fall it looks as if the bell around the cat's neck has been removed. It is a mysterious place where the silhouette of a cat appeared.
You can enjoy a sense of accomplishment from trekking up the slopes with a spectacular view of the Mt. Aso caldera in Minamiaso!
Enjoy the spectacular views from the observation points along the course.
