Though this article doesn’t mention the impact of the quakes and the current state of repairs (an omission that I find to be rather puzzling), the Aso Farmland website includes the following statement:
“We’re close since the earthquake of April but started to accept reservation after August. A part of facilities and shopping area are still under repairs now. Available facilities might be changed depends on progress of the restoration.”
As I looked for information about the current situation at this facility, I came across an interesting article that I think we missed when it first came out:
“Quake-proof, dome guesthouses offer comfort to Kumamoto evacuees,” July 10, 2016 (Mainichi Japan) http://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20160710/p2a/00m/0na/002000c
It looks like the facility might be a fun place to take kids! For more, please read the article.
