Aso<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kumamoto is known as Japan\u2019s greatest \u201cgroundwater city,\u201d where groundwater provides 100% of the drinking water for the 740,000 residents. The blessing of the volcanic Mt. Aso is even more concentrated in Minami Aso Village, where as many as 11 springs\u2014including Shirakawa Suigen, selected as one of Japan\u2019s 100 Excellent Waters\u2014serve as community water sources. Rain falls to the ground, infiltrates into the deposits left by pyroclastic flows, replenishes the subsurface river over a long course of time, and returns to the surface as springs. The clear, clean and nutrient enriched water is a blessing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso009-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso009-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso009-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso009-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso009.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mt. Aso comprises five peaks: Takadake, Nekodake, Nakadake, Kishimadake, and Eboshidake. This central cone group and the surrounding grasslands blend into the captivating beauty of the caldera landscape. We explore the water sources and the Kusasenri Geosite with Kazumi Nakajima, chair of the Minamiaso Guide Club. His favorite bag is filled with reference materials including a relief map of Aso. Mr. Nakajima strolls and pauses at rhythmic intervals, each burbling spring musically accompanying his commentary as he takes us this February through Kusasenri\u2019s patches of unmelted snow, inviting us to honor the eternal passage of time on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso215-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso215-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso215-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso215-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso215-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso215.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso211-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso211-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso211-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso211-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso211-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso211.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We spend the night at Socket, where the window commands a view of the people living with nature in the caldera. Renovated from a cowshed that fell into disuse for over 20 years, the guesthouse opened in 2019. The first floor is an open-air kitchen, the second floor a guest room. &nbsp;The unique design of a large and spacious guest room and an outdoor kitchen and dining area make one feel as they are living like a local. And the well stacked selection of wines and dry foods adds an additional level of pleasure and delight. We spend our time cooking in the kitchen and strolling to the hot-spring bath nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last\">The next morning, we say goodbye to the Maehata family, imagining the day we\u2019ll return to the local smell of fresh air, and the large views of Mt. Aso and joy of cooking outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso124-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso124-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso124-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso124-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso124-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso124.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\uff0a&#8221;Papersky Tour de Nippon in Aso&#8221; which was scheduled to be held on September 26(sat) and 27(sun) has been cancelled due to the spread of COVID-19.
