We couldn't drive right to Mt. Aso this time as it had some volcanic activity in the last few months. The mountain is the largest active volcano in Japan and is among the largest in the world. We could see some smoke coming out of the crater while we were driving.
First pit stop - the monkey show and monkey park - we weren't allowed to take photos during the show :( The monkeys were very clever and did lots of fantastic tricks. I think ours and Kei's kids were laughing the most in the crowd. The kids also got to feed the monkeys outside.
Quick stop at Bear Park. We had lunch and ice cream but ran out of time to see the actual bears... We had such a tight schedule!
Everywhere we went we enjoyed cherry blossoms in full bloom.
We all had fun at this fishing pond. There were so many hungry fish in there, every time you put the fishing rod in you catch fish! Cannot be any more fun for the kids!
They cooked the fish we caught. It was delicious!
It was a perfect place to have a good break from the long driving.
Before we arrived at our destination we made another pit stop. A park on top of a hill. It was so much fun the kids never wanted to leave! The slide was great, nice and long and so fast at the end. Even us adults had a go. Only problem? It was such a climb coming back up!
We did so much in a day but it still wan't the end of our exciting day. Let me blog about this amazing place we stayed the night in the next post.
