[ DISCOVER FAR WEST IN FAR EAST ]
Look at a world map of your country.
Can you find a small island nation called “Japan” attached to the Chinese mainland?
We are in “Kyushu”, an island nation at the western edge of that small island nation.
In the country of Japan that you know, the capital “Tokyo” and the second largest city “Osaka” are famous.
To get to know the deeper side of Japan, you should explore the westernmost island of Japan with our bus!

This means that, for example, you can drive a rental car yourself without getting lost or missing public transportation, ensuring the comfort of your overseas travel. *Japan's train departure times are said to be the most accurate in the world, so if you are even one minute late, you will miss public transportation...
- And since we are a chartered bus company with a long history of success, our products are designed with a route that is efficient and ensures the minimum amount of time you spend at tourist spots. *If you have driven a rental car overseas, you will understand that it is difficult to get to the required time shown on Google Maps...

Kusasenrigahama
"Grazing lands and volcanic activity"
This gorgeous must-see geosite includes a rain-fed pool and a 785,000 square-meter grassland growing inside an inactive crater in the foothills of Mt. Eboshi. It's a perfect place to stop for a stroll or go on a horse ride alongside the cows and horses that graze peacefully as Mt. Nakadake sends up smoke in the distance. The Aso Volcano Museum sits just adjacent to Kusasenri-ga-hama. With an extensive collection of materials related to the volcano, the museum is an excellent place to deepen your understanding of the region's history. Displays include large dioramas showing the process of Aso Volcano's formation and exhibits on volcanos around the world. The museum is also the only place to view real-time footage of Nakadake Crater taken with a recently installed camera system.

Mt. Aso Visitor Center
"Nakadake Geosite"
Sense the activity of the earth through an active volcano. After Aso Caldera was formed, several volcanos – most of them stratovolcanos – rose inside, comprising the central cone group. In contrast to the desolate scenery surrounding the crater, an enchanting landscape of meadows and plantation forests covers the volcano's slopes and foothills. Mt. Nakadake stands in the approximate center of the central cone group. Mt Aso is one of the few volcanos in the world where observers can peer directly inside the crater. The compound crater is aligned approximately north to south, measuring 900 m in that direction and 400 m east to west. Ancient documents and observations over the past 100 years reveal that volcanic activity shifts between seven craters arranged in a line over time. In the late 1800s, the first crater was active, while the fourth was active from 1923 to 1930.

Kumamoto Castle
"Beautiful reconstruction of the original castle"
Kumamoto Castle (熊本城, Kumamotojō) is one of the most impressive castles in Japan. With large castle grounds and a variety of buildings, Kumamoto Castle offers its visitors one of the most complete castle experiences in Japan. Only a few structures have survived the centuries since the castle's construction in 1607 intact. The castle keep, and most other buildings are modern reconstructions, but the reconstructions are mostly high quality, and new buildings are continually being added. With about 800 cherry trees, the castle usually becomes a popular cherry blossom spot in late March and early April.
