Kumamoto Prefecture · Japan
(Line A only)Komezuka can be admired from the comfort of your car as you drive through the Aso region. Its perfect, symmetrical cone shape, covered in lush green grass during spring and summer, makes it a striking sight against the surrounding volcanic landscape. Rising about 80 meters, the hill’s smooth, rice-bowl-like appearance stands out, creating a peaceful contrast to the rugged terrain of Mt. Aso. The scenic drive around Komezuka offers beautiful views of the Aso Caldera and nearby volcanic peaks, with the picturesque fields changing colors with the seasons, from vibrant green to golden in autumn.
