Mifune & Yamato: A Journey Through Stone Bridges and Prehistoric Romance - Tsujun Bridge and Dinosaur Museum
A full-day course rich in romance spanning the ancient past and Edo period, touring Mifune Town and Yamato Town in central Kumamoto Prefecture. Start your morning at the Dinosaur Museum in Mifune Town, where Japan's first carnivorous dinosaur fossil was discovered, viewing impressive complete skeletal displays and fossil cleaning demonstrations. Travel through the mountains to Yamato Town, enjoy mountain delicacies at Michi-no-Eki Tsujun Bridge roadside station, then visit the National Treasure—Tsujun Bridge—on its walkway. Marvel at the dignified stone arch aqueduct built by Edo-period craftsmen, feeling the wisdom and skill of their ancestors. Experience the spray of Gorojin Falls with its 50-meter drop, and finish with the famous grass sledding on Yoshimuda Highland at 700m elevation. Dinosaurs, stone bridges, waterfalls, and highlands—a delightfully ambitious family journey that will thrill everyone's heart.
