Mt. Kirikabu Mesa (Oiwao-gi-yama), soaring in Kusu Town, is a mysterious, absolutely premier scenic spot designated as a part of the UNESCO World Geopark, where beautiful columnar jointing cliffs dynamically soar on the mountain surface as if a giant fan is spreading out. The overwhelming modeling beauty born by the massive Aso volcanic eruption is magnificent, granting words-defying deep emotion and history's true weight to global travelers. The contrast between lush green primary forest trees or vivid autumn red leaves and the rock walls is perfectly harmonious, offering the best environment to leisurely enjoy hiking away from urban noise. Wrapped in great nature's grand healing power, experience a supreme wellness retreat.
