The mountain climbing season has arrived. Kuranodake, located in Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, offers trails for beginners through advanced hikers. It is a mountain that even small children can enjoy. From the summit you can enjoy a 360-degree panorama, and a big appeal is that you can easily challenge yourself starting from the 9th station. The elevation is 1,118 m. It was selected as one of the Top 100 Walking Trails in Japan. It sits at the western end of the Aso outer rim, and the name comes from its saddle-like shape. Following the northeast ridge of Kuranodake leads to peaks such as Mount Tsumushi (1,064 m), and some hikers aim for them from Kuranodake’s summit. The mountain hosts many alpine plants and bird species. There are several routes up Kuranodake; for intermediate and advanced hikers there are the Forest Course and the Panorama Course. Beginners can drive up to the 9th station and start from the East Trailhead Course. With routes of varying difficulty, many families hike together. From the summit you can see the Kuju Mountain Range, the Five Peaks of Aso, Mt. Kimpō, and Unzen. Many people bring a packed lunch or coffee to enjoy on the hike. Before hiking, pick up maps and information at Shiki no Sato in Asahishi-Fumoto, Kikuchi City, Kumamoto Prefecture, located at the trail entrance, and why not give it a try?

🌳2025 Yama School Registration Starts 🌳 "Yama school" means to pretend to go to school and play in the mountains. Even a little earlier than now, when it took me an hour or two to walk to school, It doesn't change the fact that children like to play. We walk through the mountains and rivers to school, which is an ordinary playground full of charm. It's easy to lose track of time chasing birds 🕊️ and finding delicious grass 🌱. At such a time, at school "He's a dumpster, isn't he?" (Why doesn't he come?) (Isn't he playing in Squid mountains?) What a conversation was exchanged. In the old days, everyone experienced it! It will be a ✨ pleasant memory The eco-tour "Let's go to Yama School in Morotsuka!" is inspired by such a mountain school. It is a trip that touches on the rich Nature 🍃 as it is and the way of life of the people who live there. Experience life in the forest, which has been certified as a World Agricultural Heritage Site, using your mind and body to the fullest.
