[Kumamoto Prefecture] Visit Aso Shrine in autumn!

\Tourist Spots// With a history spanning over 2,000 years, this is the head shrine of the Aso Shrines, which number approximately 500 across Japan. The 2016 Kumamoto earthquake completely or partially destroyed the tower gate and shrine, both designated Important Cultural Properties. However, restoration work has been underway for many years. The main hall, excluding the tower gate, has been completely restored and is open for worship. If you're visiting Aso in the fall, be sure to stop by! The leaves hadn't yet begun to change color on the day we visited, but Aso Shrine is a popular spot for viewing autumn leaves.
