Exploring garden’s and an active volcano

After a lovely birthday (thank you for all the birthday love!) this morning we visited suizenji jojuen, a Japanese garden. It was tranquil and quiet and a lovely place for a stroll.
We then headed further out of Kumamoto and towards Mount Aso, an active volcano. Unfortunately there is currently a 1km restriction zone due to the activity of the volcano so we were unable to see the crater. But had a walk up to the nearest highest point,
We then drove to a Shrine but this had limited access due to the damage done in the earthquake in 2016.
Finally we made our way to new accommodation for the night (a recommendation from friends) and ate some traditionally cooked food nearby.
Now we’re back at the accommodation with a glass of wine (aka me relaxing while Louis is on his laptop video editing) 🤣.もっと詳しく
