What a beautiful place you live in! The scenery around Aso was spectacular, the hotels were great especially the ones with onsens, we loved the food a highlight being the meal at Obama Onsen. I guess we should have really asked for a guide as well as a driver.  Ken was an excellent and safe driver but were all wanting a lot more information than he could tell us. A wonderful trip, and I will be recommending Kyushu to everyone.
