Nabegataki Fall is a rare waterfall we can walk its reverse. Though it's not so big, we can see it very close and that much volume of water is powerful! It has become famous since it was used for the location of TV commercial.

A shrine in Kumamoto, which has become famous secretly as a spiritual power spot. There's some mysterious atmosphere that I can't describe well. I could see very beautiful and tranquil scenery.

Horseback riding experience while gazing at Aso's wilderness. I was healed by the fluttering footsteps. Since it is a guide horse, even first-timers and children could ride the horse with peace of mind. It is closed from December to February and business hours are from 9:00 to 4:00. You can get on as soon as you go, so you can get on with almost no reservations or waiting. The fee is 1500 yen per person for a 5-minute course. It is recommended because you can take a commemorative photo or take a video while riding.

There's a cherry blossom tunnel from Nishi-hitoyoshi Station to Watari Station of Hisatsu Line. Amazingly, the trains and SL Hitoyoshi go through under this cherry blossom tunnel! By the way, it's very crowded with many people. Be careful!◎You can walk from Nishi-hitoyoshi Station, and enjoy walking under the cherry blossom tunnel. There's a convenience store (2015). There're not enough space for taking pictures. In 2018, the sighbord 'please refrain from taking pictures here' was set up near the inhabited railroad crossing.

Yachiyoza is a very valuable building that still has the style in Edo period and is recognized as a National Important Cultural Property. As we come inside, the scenery is very awesome. It's used even now every week, a famous Kabuki actor Ebizō Ichikawa often plays here. If it has not performances on that day, visitors can see inside, and also the dressing room and stage.
