No matter the season, the Kuju mountains, located west of Beppu and east of Kumamoto, are a great place to get deep into nature.
Dramatic cliffs and epic passes unfold themselves onto sudden plateaus, plains and highlands in surprising fashion.
And if you thought you had to go up to Furano in Hokkaido to see some amazing flower fields, you were totally wrong, as visitors to the Kuju Flower Park can see tulips in spring, sunflowers in summer, cosmos in autumn, and pansies in winter.
