Akiyoshido Cave

100 meters below the surface of Akiyoshidai with its entrance in the southern foothills is Akiyoshido Cave, one of Japan’s greatest limestone caverns. The sightseeing route inside the cave is about 1 km long (of an overall cave length of 8.9 km), and the temperature is a steady 17°C throughout the year—cool in summer, and warm in winter‚ making this a comfortable place to visit for both elderly visitors and children.
Kawaradani Park
Kaicho no Yado Aioso

This is the perfect location overlooking the Suonada waters, where you can see all the way across to Kyushu and Shikoku on a day with nice weather. It is a spectacular sight to gaze at the landscape or to watch the sun sink into the Suonada waters while you spend a relaxing time in an open-air onsen bath. Although it is a short distance uphill to Aioso, the slope is steep and difficult to ride. Along the way, you can look out at the islands rising from the Seto Inland Sea.

Kusunoki Shikisai Ichi
