Enjoy Aso Shrine and the temple town

Aso Shrine is a shrine that represents Aso, Kumamoto. The magnificent tower gate is the first thing to catch your eye, and the grounds are spacious, creating an open feeling that makes the sky seem vast. The approach to the shrine is lined with gourmet, liquor, and souvenir shops, creating a charming atmosphere that allows you to enjoy a visit to the shrine while strolling around the town. Going a little further in, you'll find a quiet space with a flowing waterway and cherry blossoms that add color in spring. The contrast between the atmosphere of the shrine grounds and the surrounding area is pleasant, and even just walking around is soothing. It's also fun to look for simple, regional souvenirs, such as locally grown takana mustard greens, making this a classic spot not to be missed when visiting Aso.
