William Many are aware that Mt Kimpo is a volcano (dormant at that, according to a geologist friend). It’s history to date is shown in the illustration (the caldera used to be a lake! - cool if it still were, eh?) https://www.mifunemuseum.jp/kumamotogeo/kinpouzan.html The road from town to Kawachi Port passes through a very narrow part of the caldera, following a small stream. Halfway down is an establishment called Yuuhouen. On the left is a bit of parking and a wonderful restaurant which is famous for their ayu cooked over sumi (which they make themselves) at your table. There is also nagashi somen. Many tables are on a veranda perched above the stream - it’s like eating outside. On the right are their orchards, which cling to the caldera edge on an impossibly steep slope. There are various crops spread over a vast area. Now is grape season - pick all you want; they’ll weigh them at the counter. Their website indicates which fruit is available during which season. They also have the healthiest free-range chickens you’ll ever see (they have to run up and down the hill all day; their meat is available in the restaurant, and is unlike any chicken you’ve ever tasted). The family which runs the place is the friendliest that can be. September is a perfect time to visit. You’ll need a car. https://www.yuuhouen.com/
