OFFICIAL KUMAMOTO TOURISM GUIDE

Sightseeing

Aso area

Mazeno Gorge

Mazeno Gorge is the source of the Chikugo River. It features clear stream waters washing over large rock faces and the broadleaf trees lining both banks. It's a place where unspoiled nature creates beautiful landscapes. The gorge is accessible only a few days a year during spring and fall, earning it a reputation as a "secret valley." Here, sunlight filters through the trees to dance on the water's surface amid the dense foliage and is a great place to witness the changing of the seasons. 
Autumn leaves: end of October to mid-November
