The surrounding area is lush and undulating. I parked my car in a large parking lot and entered the building. It was a roadside station-like facility because there were local specialties lined up and there was a restaurant. In autumn, a beautiful cosmos garden with 1 million cosmos blooms ...

　When I got off the prefectural road from Minami Aso Village to the Kumamoto Airport side, I found "Tawarazan Exchange Hall Moe no Sato" on the left side of the road. It was a facility like a roadside station, and freshly picked vegetables and special products were lined up in the building.

The Sakata Sweet chiffon cake I bought at a shop at Kumamoto Airport was delicious, so when I checked it on the Internet, I learned that it was manufactured near here and sold at Moe no Sato. I stopped by on the way home. When I asked the shop staff, they were politely guided to see that the products were placed in three places. I could buy various kinds of sweets and enjoyed it. At the entrance, I also took a picture with Kumamon.

I happened to pass by on the way back to Kumamoto Airport. The cosmos in full bloom was in bloom and it was a popular spot. I wonder if there are many locals, the parking lot was full and there were events. I happened to meet a good spot along the way. It's close to the airport, so I would like to stop by in another season.
