Guide to each city, town and village
Oguni Town, on the north side of the Aso somma, is located among beautiful natural surroundings which include the Nabegataki waterfall. For 1800 years it has been known as a hot spring resort. Tsuetate hot spring town spreads along both sides of the river and Waita highland hot springs are dotted across the western plateau of Waita Mountain. The "Tsuetate Koinobori (carp streamers) Festival" is a spring tradition in Oguni Town. These streamers are illuminated at night, providing a fantastic contrast to their daytime appearance.
