Cool Off With a Highland Drive Through Pastures and Mountain Ridges
About this spot
The Namino Plateau spreading across the eastern gateway to Aso captivates with its majestic scenery of grazing pastures and gentle mountain ridges. At this high elevation, even in summer the air is refreshingly cool, and simply opening your car window feels like entering a different world from the lowlands. The pastoral landscape with grazing cattle and wide-open vistas that extend far into the distance are perfect for a family drive. Before returning to the festival grounds, savor a quiet moment uniquely Namino's own.
