Umiyama Route list

Kagekiyodo Thoron Onsen
Kagekiyodo Cave

This cave is said to be where Taira no Kagekiyo (Oba Kagekiyo), commander of the Heike clan, hid when he lost the Battle of Dan-no-ura. The walls and ceiling are as magnificent as works of art, and you can see fossils of fusulinid, coral, and seaweed. In addition to the sightseeing route, there is an adventure route (that takes about one hour) that allows visitors to look for troglofauna and fossils. Kagekiyodo Tron Onsen is also located nearby.
Akiyoshidai

Akiyoshidai is a limestone plateau and karst landscape formed by coral reefs over the course of 350 million years, with numerous sinkholes and limestone caverns. The panoramic view consisting of grassland and limestone rock is marvelous.
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
Iwayasan Jizoin Temple
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.
Aio Roadside Station

This rest stop is located at the site where Japanese tiger prawn cultivation first began. The restaurant inside offers some very popular dishes made from prawns. Of course, in addition to prawns, it offers a rich array of local farm produce as well as fresh fish and seafood from the Seto Inland Sea delivered by the fisheries coop each morning.
