Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Farmland / orchard near Mt. Aso 2009/7/25 Kumamoto Which one is the best for a family travel with kids (4 and 6 years old) - Aso Apple Picking Park, or Friendly Takahara Farm, or Aso Farm Village ? I saw all of them on the map and they were not far from Aso Station. But can't find more info about "Aso apple picking park" and "Takahara Farm". There is a website for Aso Farm Village. But I'm not sure the activities is also for young kids. Thank you in advance for all the answers. by Natalie (guest)   ... 2009/7/26 What activities are you looking for? I have found the website for Aso Farm Land (part of which is Aso Farm Village, hotel facilities), but cannot find the two others. http://www.asofarmland.co.jp/top.html Aso Farm Land seems to be a site including various types of spa - sauna, large baths, oxygen domes (!) - and some outdoor play areas, for the health-conscious. So if your kids as well as yourselves are interested in these facilities, it would be fine :) But if you are looking for fruit picking experiences, Aso Farm land does not provide that. by AK rate this post as useful . 2009/7/26 I can highly recommend the Country Road hostel in Yufuin as great fun and not really a hostel. You can commute to Aso from there. We rented a car and had fun. by Connie Chiwa (guest) rate this post as useful
