Aso area

Moe no Sato

Located at the foot of Mt. Tawara, this exchange center is brimming with the blessings of Aso. You can find freshly picked vegetables and local specialties, as well as a restaurant where you can savor country-style cuisine.

Moreover, the area is surrounded by gently rolling hills covered in greenery, making it an ideal spot to unwind. In autumn, a million beautiful cosmos flowers explode in color, attracting crowds of visitors. Events like the Shukaku no Aki, featuring a bounty of fall vegetables such as sweet potatoes, taro, and chestnuts from Nishihara, are also held.
