Kota Hashimoto & Yoshimi Tan

Kota was born and raised in Aso and has spent his life exploring its mountains, grasslands, and countryside roads.

Yoshimi grew up in Singapore and moved to Aso seven years ago. Having experienced Aso first as a visitor and now as a local resident, she understands what makes this region so memorable for international guests.

Together, we share not only the spectacular scenery of Aso-Kuju National Park, but also the people, culture, food, and stories that make this place special.

Friendships Beyond Borders
Guests from different parts of the world came together to experience Aso's breathtaking scenery. By the end of the ride, they shared not only the road but also laughter, stories, and lasting memories.

After conquering the routes, enjoying the scenery, and creating lasting memories, it's time to celebrate. Every completed tour is an adventure worth remembering.
