This mystical shrine has been hot topic on social media as “the entrance to another world”.
97 stone lanterns line up along the approach leading to the main hall, the scenery that sunshine comes into the green mossy world is very fantastic.
When you walk through the main hall, you will find a huge stone called “Ugeto-iwa”.

Kusasenri is a vast grassy plain which offers great views of the volcanically active Nakadake Peak. Kusasenri also features a large pond and horses can be seen grazing on the land. This scenic location has become a popular feature of the Aso Geopark.
Mt.Aso's caldera is one of the world's largest calderas, which stretches 18km east-west, 25km north-south. Mt.Nakadake is still active and its crater is 600m in diameter, 130m in depth and 4km in circumference. You can see the huge crater emitting white smoke and the magnificent scenery up close. When the level of volcanic activity is high, you may not be able to approach the crater.

“Great guide ”
Mai-san opened up her schedule for us on short notice and was able to accomodate us to visit all 10 One Piece statues in one day. I highly recommend a guide such as her because some of the statues are hard to get to and the place where they sell the figures can be hard to figure out. She will help you get to them and help you buy them since she is a local, I can't recommend her enough if you are a One Piece fan!

“Best experience in Japan!!!”
Mai is the absolute best!!!! Not only does she make seeing all the one piece statues easy, she provides In Depth knowledge of the Kyushu region. It was so fun to learn about the rich history of Kumamoto. The country side is soooo beautiful and more people need to visit it. It’s indescribable. Mai is very accommodating, respectful, and fun! She made sure I was comfortable the whole time and even made time for us to get food. Speaking of which, please take her recommendations as she showed me the best ice cream I’ve ever had and best ramen I’ve ever had! She is so knowledgeable in so many things and really made the experience one of my favorites. I plan to reach out to Mai again the next time I’m back in Japan as this felt like I was really seeing Japan and seeing the beloved One Piece statues. Mai is also an expert in sake so please reach out to her about that as well! 本当にありがとう!

“5-star service!”
I rarely write reviews, however, this service was 5-star all the way. The One-Piece statue tour was phenomenal and we still had time to enjoy lunch at Mt. Aso. We decided to add a driver and a larger car (well worth the extra cost). Mai communicates very well and is extremely knowledgeable about the Kumamoto area (ask her about sake). My daughter and I spent a lovely day with this service. Thank you, Mai and GoWithGuide.
