Good morning! Here is the article about Tori-no-koduka Park (or Men-no-ishi observatory) in Minamiaso Village. There are two main attractions there. One is its amazing scenery of southern Aso and the other is Men-no-ishi stone, which fell down after the earthquake but still people enjoy it with different view.

Yesterday, “New Aso Ohashi bridge” was opened to traffic. There used to be Aso Ohashi bridge but it collapsed after the earthquake in 2016. This good news of the bridge is a great hope for people in Kumamoto and makes us feel that we are moving forward.

It seems like it will be sunny this weekend and some of you may be thinking of going for a drive to Minamiaso area to use the new bridge. In this article, I have introduced some other places in Minamiaso area so that you can make a fruitful plan.

Check the article below and enjoy southern Aso at most!
