Product Info
- We will guide you at a leisurely pace through the Fujigawachi Valley, an 8km-long monolithic rock formation created by a massive eruption of Mount Aso. We have selected the best spots from countless scenic locations to show you the charm of places you cannot usually experience. Let yourself be fully immersed in the hidden charm of Fujigawachi Valley. We will walk along flat trails while providing explanations, so you can fully enjoy it even if you do not have much physical stamina. ～Day Trip Itinerary～ ・Meet at Roadside Station Ume at 10:00 *Travel to Fujigawachi Valley by your own car ・Safety prayer at a spot where you can see the shrine at 10:15 ・Arrive at Keikoku Onsen 'Restroom, put on gear, exercises, explanation' at 10:30 ・Arrive at Fujigawachi Valley and start activity at 11:00 (10 minutes drive upstream from the hot spring) *Bonfire lunch on the way (includes coffee/snacks) ・Arrive at Fujigawachi Valley entrance and end activity at 14:15 ・Fujigawachi Onsen at 14:30, dismiss before bathing
- We select and guide you through the monolithic granite formations and scenic spots of Fujigawachi Valley, born from the massive Aso eruption!
- Countless scenic spots are scattered throughout the area, created by water erosion over an unimaginably long period on the monolithic granite. We will guide you safely so that everyone from children to adults can enjoy it. If you have normal physical stamina, you can fully participate, but please note that we may change the course or schedule depending on the participants and weather conditions on the day. Since we only accept one group, you can participate without any worries.
- On the way: Warm bonfire lunch and hot spring bath after the tour
- The bonfire lunch on the way is heartwarming and soothing. It is also charming that you can grill and eat local catches from the Bungo Channel and other areas. On the way back, we will bathe at the Fujigawachi Onsen in the lower reaches of the valley. Let's head home feeling refreshed.
- Boiling valley spring water for authentic coffee
- We will scoop up clear water, boil it with gas, and brew coffee from freshly roasted beans for you to enjoy at a leisurely pace. It will soothe both your body and soul.
