Full days from Fukuoka usually spend the morning up at Aso and the afternoon at the castle, or swap the castle for a soak at Kurokawa Onsen. The food is part of it too: basashi, which is raw horse meat, and ramen slicked with burnt garlic oil.
Ride the Minami Aso Railway, see Mount Aso and Kusasenri, then choose Kurokawa Onsen or Kumamoto Castle on this long Fukuoka day trip.
